Alicha
Alicha Origin and Meaning
Alicha is a feminine name that likely emerged as a variant of names like Alicia, Alisha, or Alysha. These names ultimately derive from the Germanic name Adelaide, meaning 'noble type,' or from Alice, which came from the Old French name Aalis, a short form of Adelais. The spelling with 'ch' gives the name a distinctive look while maintaining a pronunciation similar to more common variants. Alicha has never been widely used in English-speaking countries, remaining a rare choice that offers uniqueness while still feeling familiar to the ear. The name has a gentle, melodic quality with its soft sounds and feminine ending. Its international feel makes it work across various cultures, though it doesn't have strong ties to any specific heritage. For parents seeking a name that's recognizable but uncommon, Alicha provides an appealing option with a contemporary feel.
