ThE hIStOrY oF AlLiSoN

My name is Allison. I have learned that it’s a name that was first heard of in 1946. My name is feminine (thankfully). I have also heard that “Allison” could be a last name. My name was most popular the year before I was born, 1986 and in 1994-1995, and then again in 1998. Allison is a German name and means “of the noble sort.” Since 1963 “Allison” has been more popular than “Alison.” Allison comes from the name Alice. I have never researched my name before, this was a little interesting. On another site, my name means “truth” in Greek and my name can also be Irish and mean “of noble birth”.
