Meaning and history
Alizée is a modern French feminine name taken from alizé, the French word for a trade wind. The word ultimately refers to the steady tropical winds that historically aided ocean navigation, giving the name an airy, natural association. It is distinct from Alice despite their similar appearance. The best-known bearer is French singer Alizée Jacotey, who performs under her first name and became internationally known with the song “Moi... Lolita.”
In 2025, 24 babies were recorded with the name Alizée, ranking #5,238 among girls.
