Comments for the name Alessia

I love this name. My parents named me Alessia while we lived in Ukraine and when left for America I started hating it but now I see how unique and pretty it is.

This name is pronounsed AH-leh-see-ah.

This name means protector, or in some cultures savior. It is used in Italy, Russia, Ukraine and much of Eastern Europe.

Alessia Marcuzzi (born November 11, 1972) is an Italian actress and showgirl.

Alessia di Matteo was an Italian from Genoa. Di Matteo became the first person in history to survive the transplantion of eight organs in a single operation, although she died a year later of complications.

Alessia Filippi is an Italian swimmer.

Great name to give for the namesake Alice!

I don't really like it, as I think it's too "elegant" in an obvious way.

This name is great with 'Lissy' as a nickname.

I think this name is beautiful. It's not as harsh as Alexis or Alexandra, which I believe all of them mean the same thing.

In Italy Alessia became popular in the 1970s (before it was absolutely rare). It was the 2nd most popular name in Rome in 1976 (behind Francesca), the 6th in 1981, and it's still very fashionable (5th in Italy in 2004, 6th in 2006).

The pronunciation is not AH-le-see-ah but ah-LESS-syah.

I love the name Alessia, it's cute and pretty.

I think this name is so cute.

Alessia is very feminine and cute! Better than Alexia as I love the 'Alex' part in names for boys not girls.

This is gorgeous. I've never met or heard of anyone with this name but I absolutely love it.
