Alise is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Alise is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 girls have been named Alise. In the SmartGenius ranking, Alise is #2,658 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Alise.
While Alise isn't one of the most popular names of all time, it does seem to have attracted parents especially in the second half of last century. In 1987 the name Alise reached its highest popularity with #1,323 in our ranking of all female first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their daughter Alise. One might assume that this was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and girls in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Alise.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Alise was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 23 babies were born with the name Alise. This puts the name in rank 4,797 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 6,444,865 newborns was named Alise that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Alise has been and remains marvelously unusual!
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Alise are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Alise is registered in 19 states, among which are California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois or Indiana. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Alise live in California, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 50,897 would turn around if you called the name Alise across California.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is the most popular first letter for girls’ names. 11.8% of all common girls’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in girls' names is S.
With five letters, the name Alise is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 11.8% of all girls' names start with an A, this initial letter occurs over three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the girls' names that begin with the letter A, the name Ashley is the most common.
If your name is Alise and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Alise, you can simply say:
