Alice
Featured in baby name books
Alice is a Germanic name meaning “noble” or “nobility,” originally a form of Adelaide, with variants such as Alys and Alyce. Alice is also linked to a Greek word for “truthful.” Forever tied to Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, the name was popular in the 1940s and 1950s, gave way to Allison, and is now rising again; writer Alice Walker is a bearer. Namesakes include film pioneer Alice Guy-Blaché, who directed the first fictional film in 1896, and Alice, the fearless heroine of the Resident Evil films.
