A person who lives in, frequents, or spends time in alleyways; street urchin or someone from the streets.
From alley plus the noun suffix -ite (one who belongs to, one involved with). This follows the pattern of words like urbanite or socialite.
An 'alleyite' was once a street kid marked by poverty, but the word reveals how we name people by their geography—where you live shapes your very identity in language.
