Alice

Alice is a shortened form of the Old French 'Adelais', which itself stems from the Germanic 'Adalheidis' (Adelaide). The name arrived in England via the Normans. It reached the height of its fame in the 19th century following the publication of Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. It has remained a hallmark of classic, understated English naming tradition ever since.

Cultural Notes

Alice is the quintessential 'storybook' name. It implies a sense of curiosity, intelligence, and old-fashioned charm. While it was once considered a 'grandma' name, it has been fully revitalized by the current vintage-revival trend. It is a name that sounds equally appropriate for a physicist, an artist, or a literary character.
