[Opinions] I never knew that
in reply to a message by Array
I always presumed that the surname Allison / Alison just came from the fn Alison (like other fns have been used for surnames, eg James).
I was going to look up Alison as a surname but I left my Oxford dictionary of surnames up in Stirling and for some reason Oxford Reference Online only has it's firstname and placename dictionaries on the internet (very annoying as I haven't come across anything to beat it yet).
