📖 About Alice
Alice traces its roots to the Old French Aalis, a contraction of the Germanic Adalheidis, meaning 'of noble kind'. Immortalized by Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel, it was a top-10 name in the US from the 1880s through the early 1910s. After a long decline, it has made a remarkable comeback — reaching the top 40 in Australia by 2017 and remaining consistently top 10 in France. Today Alice is cherished as a literary, timeless, and cross-culturally beloved name.
