Alice is a feminine given name used primarily in English and French. It is a feminized form of the Old French female name ''Alis'' (older ''Aalis''), short form of ''Adelais'', which is derivation from the Germanic name ''Adalhaidis'' (see Adelaide (given name)), from the Germanic word elements ''adal'', meaning ″noble″ and ''haid-'', meaning ″heath(land), heather″.〔Albert Dauzat, ''Noms et prénoms de France'', Librairie Larousse 1980, édition revue et commentée par Marie-Thérèse Morlet. p. 6a.〕 Alice was the most popular female baby name in Sweden in 2009 and has been among the top 10 names given to girls for the past five years.〔(Namnstatistik – Statistik från SCB )〕 The name ranks in the top 100 most popular names for baby girls in Australia, Belgium, France, Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales, and Northern Ireland. It ranked as the 172nd most popular name for baby girls born in the United States in 2010. Alice ranked as the 51st most common name for women in the United States in the 1990 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Behind the Name: Popularity for Alice )〕 The name was most popular in the United States in the Victorian era and at the turn of the 20th century. It has been popularized by ''Alice in Wonderland'', by Lewis Carroll. It was also popular in the Victorian era due to The Princess Alice, a daughter of Queen Victoria. In the United States, Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of Theodore Roosevelt, was occasionally known as "Princess Alice" in the press and inspired a song called ''Alice Blue Gown.'' In recent years, the variants ''Alicia'', ''Allison'', and a short form, ''Allie'', have been more popular names in the United States. Allison was the 38th most popular name for baby girls born in the United States in 2010; Alicia was the 220th most popular name for girls in the United States in 2010 and Allie was the 189th most popular name for girls in the United States in 2010. All three names have multiple spelling variants which are also well-used. ''Alyssa'', the 20th most popular name for baby girls born in the United States in 2010, may sound like a variant, but it is historically of different origin, from the flower Alyssum. == Variants == *Addie (English) *Addy (English) *Alena (Czech) *Adelaida (Spanish) *Adélaïde, Adelaïde (French) *Adelaide (Portuguese), (Italian) *Adelajda (Polish) *Adelheid (Dutch), (German) *Adelita (Spanish) *Aelith (Occitan) *Aileas (Scottish) *Aili (Scottish) *Ailís (Irish) *Alais, Alaïs (Old French) *Aleid (Dutch) *Aleida (Dutch) *Aleit (German) *Ali (English) *Alica (Slovakian, Hebrew) *Alice (Czech), (Portuguese), (Italian) *Alícia (Catalan, Portuguese) *Alicia (English), (Galician), (Spanish), (Latin) *Alicja, diminutive: Ala (Polish) *Alisiya (Алисия) (Bulgarian), (Russian), (Ukrainian) *Alida (Hungarian) *Aliisa, Liisa (Finnish) *Aλίκη (Aliki) (Greek) * Alika (Hawaiian) *Alike (Basque) *Aline (English), (French), (Portuguese) *Alis (Welsh) (Romanian) *Алиса (Alisa) (Russian) *Alisa (English), (Lithuanian) *Alissa (English) *Alise (Latvian) *Alisia (English) *Alisha (English) *Alison (English), (Scots) *Alita (Spanish) *Alix (German), (Old French) *Alíz (Hungarian) *Aliza (Hebrew)〔"Aliza" (עליזה) means "happy" or "gay" in Hebrew; the use of the word as a female first name was, however, introduced in the 20th Century with the conscious intention to emulate the common European name.〕 *Alize (Turkish) * Alizka (Greek) *Alli (English), (Finnish) *Allis (Swedish) *Allison (English), (Scots) *Allsún (Irish) *Alys (Welsh), (Old French) *Arisu (Japanese) *Alyssa (English) *Azalais (Occitan) *Della (English) *Ealee (Manx) *Ealish (Manx) *Éilis (Irish) *Elicia (English) *Elissa (English) *Elke (Dutch), (Frisian) * Elsa (Spanish) * Elschen (German) *Heida (German) *Heidi (English), (German) * Ilse (German) * Licha (Spanish) * أليس (Arabic) * Аліса (Alisa) (Belarusian) * এলিস (Ēlisa) (Bengali) * 爱丽丝 (Àilìsī) (Chinese Simplified) * 愛麗絲 (Àilìsī) (Chinese Traditional) * Alico (Esperanto) * Alicia (Galician) * Αλίκη (Alíki̱) (Greek) * એલિસ (Ēlisa) (Gujarati) * אליס (Hebrew) * ऐलिस (Ailisa) (Hindi) * アリス (Arisu) (Japanese) * ಆಲಿಸ್ (Ālis) (Kannada) * 앨리스 (Aelliseu) (Korean) * अलिस (Alisa) (Marathi) * Алис (Alis) (Mongolian) * एलिस (Ēlisa) (Nepali) * آلیس (Persian) * ਆਲਿਸ (Ālisa) (Punjabi) * Алиса (Alisa) (Russian) * Алиса (Alisa) (Serbian) * ஆலிஸ் (Ālis) (Tamil) * ఆలిస్ (Ālis) (Telugu) * อลิซ (Xlis) (Thai) * Аліса (Alisa) (Ukrainian) * یلس (Urdu) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alice (given name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
