Alice is a feminine name of German origin, meaning "noble" and "exalted." Popularized by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Alice hit the naming charts at the turn of the 20th century and has remained a beloved contender ever since. An everlasting darling heroine, Alice was also picked as a baby name by Tina Fey in 2005 and Theodore Roosevelt in the 19th century. The name Alice has touched hearts throughout history but now it’s loved enough that parents are straining against societal norms! While Alice is still primarily given to girls, this gorgeous moniker can double up as a boy name, too. Alice is a classic literary name that's both strong and sweet, which got a big bounce via Tina Fey's choice of the name for her daughter.
