Origin
Meaning and history of Alysiana
The name Alysiana is a modern feminine name that appears to be a combination of the names Alice and Ana, with the suffix "-iana" added for aesthetic purposes. It does not have a direct linguistic origin or cultural background.
The name Alice is derived from the Old French name Alis, which was a shortened form of the Germanic name Adelaidis. Adelaidis was composed of the Germanic elements "adal" meaning "noble" and "haid" meaning "kind" or "sort." Ana is a variant spelling of the classic name Anna, which has Hebrew origins meaning "grace" or "favor."
While there are no known ancient texts or religious scriptures that directly reference the name Alysiana, its components have historical significance. The name Alice gained popularity in the Middle Ages and was borne by various noblewomen throughout Europe, including Alice of Normandy (1020-1092), the Countess of Burgundy.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Alysiana is Alysiana Bateman, an American actress born in 1993. Other notable individuals with this first name include Alysiana Dominguez, a Venezuelan model and beauty queen born in 1988, and Alysiana Rolon, an American singer and songwriter born in 1993.
While not as extensively documented as more traditional names, Alysiana has been used throughout history. One example is Alysiana Kerfoot, an English author and poet from the 19th century, born in 1832 and died in 1898. Another is Alysiana Fontaine, a French painter active in the early 20th century, born in 1892 and died in 1975.
Additionally, there is Alysiana Veneziano, an Italian opera singer from the late 18th century, born in 1768 and died in 1844, who performed in various theaters across Europe during her career.

FAQ
Alysiana: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Alysiana?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 68 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Alysiana going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 5,040,505 US residents.
Is Alysiana a common name?
We classify Alysiana as "Very Rare". It ranks above 58.9% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 69 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Alysiana most popular?
The single biggest year for Alysiana was 2011, when 11 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Alysiana is about 18 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Alysiana in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Alysiana a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Alysiana in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Alysiana still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Alysiana in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Alysiana can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
