Noble, defender of mankind
Alesha is a modern variant of Alicia or Alisha, ultimately derived from the Germanic name Adelaide, meaning noble. It is also frequently used as a phonetic variation of the Greek name Alecia, which stems from Alexander and carries the meaning of defender. In English-speaking countries, it gained popularity in the late 20th century as a creative spelling choice.
