Alice

Origine et signification de Alice

Alice springs from the Germanic Adalheidis, blending adal 'noble' with heid 'kind, lineage', giving the sense of a 'noble nature'. It reached Italy through the medieval French Aalis, a short form of Adelaide. Widespread across Europe since the Middle Ages, it remains a favourite in Italy, France and the English-speaking world, where Lewis Carroll's tale sealed its gentle, timeless charm.
