please don't use babynamesworldThat site is highly inaccurate when it comes to meanings, they (as many babyname sites) like to 'nice up' some of the meanings, so if you want a reliable meaning/origin, i suggest sticking to this site..

I have never heard of an ancient princess, goddess or warrior by the name of Alison / Allison. Since it is a mediaeval name, there won't have been any "ancient" Alisons.Allison is not a noble German name. It is a mediaeval French (and English) form of Alice, which is from the Germanic root word
"adal" which means noble.

No worries - in what way do you feel "in the dark"? What is it that you want to know?
