Alison, Allison, Allyson are all variants of the feminine French name Alice, which itself is rooted in the Germanic name Adelaide. It means "noble" "graceful" and "kind". Source found on name history's and History of names website.
Personally, love the name. It is unique but not in a “look at how weird I can spell” kind of way. But definitely not finding this name on a keychain in a gift shop. There are definitely more Allyson’s than I thought. It’s a fun name for fun girls that have their head on right!
The pronunciation of this name is interesting. I have heard it pronounced as a-LUH-sun too. Maybe that’s just a Southern thing.

Personally, it's an okay-ish name. The "One or two L's?" and the "Is it spelled with an I or a Y?" can get old really fast. Most people nowadays will just assume how the name is spelled instead of asking how it's spelled. But besides those inconveniences, it's an alright name.
Allyson or Allison. Both spellings lead to a beautiful name.
I like this spelling better than Alison or Allison, plus I had a teacher I liked when I was younger and this was her name.

I like this spelling although I prefer Allison. Also my mom had a friend named Allyson growing up and I think it’s cute. My aunt's name is Allison and sometimes we call her Allie but honestly, I just like Allison on its own. I think that Alisson and Allisson are really weird. I once knew a girl named Allisyn.
The spelling doesn't flow well. Looks like someone just added -son at the end of Ally.
For both spellings- Allyson & Allison... I have always loved this name and thought of it as classic beauty!
Awful spelling. It’s ally with son. Ally is not your son.
Love Allyson with the y! I love how it lends itself more easily to the nickname Ally! Very girly while maintaining an air of sophistication!
Phonetic.
I personally think this is the prettiest spelling of the name. My very closest friend is Allyson, and I love it! I'm planning on using it with my own children someday. Anyways, I think this is a gorgeous spelling. And makes the most sense for the nickname "Ally."
I think Allyson is a great name. One of my best friend's name was spelled Allysen. I think she should be proud of the way her name is spelt with an "e" instead of an "o". It makes it look more feminine in my opinion.
It looks like the parents wanted to name their daughter Ally, but decided she needed a "formal" name, so they tacked -son onto the end. Blah. I much prefer the older, more elegant forms of Allyson - Alison, Alice, and Adelaide.
My twin sister's name is Alyson, but it was supposed to be Allyson, but when the people in the hospital were tranferring her name into the computer, the lady left out the second l, so now she's Alyson Marie. Oh well. I think she'd be evil even if she had both ls.
This happens to be how my name is spelt and I love it. And no name is meant to be spelt a certain way, it is original and I am very proud to have it. It's a classic name. Seems anyone with the name Allyson or the variant of it spell their nickname as Ally. As do many other names such Alexandra. The name is popular and is the orginal owner of the nickname Ally. Unlike many other names that use it. It's a great name.
It is meant to be spelt Alison, whoever made this spelling up, trying to be original but just not.
I really hate this spelling of Alison - it doesn't feel the same.
