Alistair is a male given name. It is an
anglicised form of the Scottish Gaelic
Alasdair . The latter is most likely a
Scottish Gaelic variant of the Norman French
Alexandre or Latin Alexander, which was incorporated into English in the same form as
Alexander . The deepest etymology is the Greek
Ἀλέξανδρος (man-repeller): ἀλέξω (repel) + ἀνήρ (man), "the one who repels men", a warrior name. Another, not nearly so common, Anglicization of Alasdair is Allaster .
