Alice comes from the Old French Aalis, a short form of Adelais, which is the French version of the Germanic Adalheidis, “noble kind”, from adal, “noble”, and heid, “kind, sort”.
The Normans took it across the Channel, and medieval England knew it well. Lewis Carroll made it famous again with Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
The 3 speaks of imagination and exchange.
A, L, I, C and E are worth 1, 3, 9, 3 and 5, and they add up to 21, then 3. An Alice often asks the question nobody else dares, invents a game to pass the time and keeps friends of many ages. Curiosity about people is her favourite pastime.
The A, I and E total 6. At heart she seeks harmony and wants those near her to feel looked after. L and C also reach 6, so her actions show the same caring spirit: she organises a gathering, mends a quarrel and remembers who needs what.
The opening A is worth 1, and so is the first vowel, since both are the same letter. Her greeting is direct, and her reflex before the unknown is to go ahead and see.
A 3 above a double 6, led by a 1: words, warmth and a push to begin. Her full story would need more than five letters.
In 2025, Alice ranked No. 52 among girls’ names in England and Wales.

Alice means “noble kind”. It comes from the Old French Aalis, a short form of Adelais, the French version of the Germanic Adalheidis. After the Norman arrival it was common in England, and Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland renewed its charm. Alice is a 3 in the engine, with vowels and consonants both at 6.
No. Alice comes to 21, then 3, while Alicia reaches 26 and then 8. The two extra letters add an I and an A, moving the vowels from 6 to 2 and the consonants to 6. The reading shifts from expression to practical ambition, though the initial A, worth 1, stays the same.
