Pronunciation

AL-eeListen

Allie is pronounced AL-ee, and it's an English name that works as a nickname rather than a full name on its own. It's often assumed to be short for Alice, meaning 'noble,' but Allie is also used as a nickname for other names entirely — Alison, Alexandra, Alexis, and even the boys' names Alan, Allen, and Alexander — so its meaning really depends on which full name it's standing in for. Used as a form of Alice or Alison, the most common meaning tied to it is 'noble.'
