The name Allison is of Scottish origin, it means noble. How I got the name is a fun story, before I was born and my parents were picking my name, my mom had a long list some of the names she was choosing from, I was almost named Megan but now it is my sisters name . My dad loved Allison and one of his reasons was “You can’t just name her Alli, she needs options. Have you ever heard of a Dr. Alli?” (options like what I go by) So, my name became Allison. And yes my dad was right I go by Allison, Alli, Alice (and sometimes my sister’s name because according to my family we look a lot alike).
I really like the name Allison. And I also think it’s cool to have a name that you can shorten. My name is Catherine and I have never gone by another variation (like Katie or Cathy).
That is my sisters name.
Cool!
