Alistair


Alistair is a masculine given name. It is an Anglicised form of the Scottish Gaelic Alasdair. The latter is most likely a Scottish Gaelic corruption of the Norman French Alexandre or Latin Alexandrus, which was incorporated into English as Alexander. The deepest etymology is the Greek Ἀλέξανδρος : ἀλέξω + ἀνήρ, "the one who repels men", a warrior name. Another, not nearly so common, Anglicisation of Alasdair is Allaster.
