Thinking about the name
Allister
Scottish origin
“A streamlined Scottish form of Alexander, meaning 'defender of men' in Greek. Allister strips away some of the ornamental flourish of Allistair while retaining its strong Scottish identity and protective, authoritative meaning. The name feels both approachable and dignified, with a sense of quiet strength.”
