Aliciah
Aliciah Origin and Meaning
Aliciah is a feminine name that represents a modern, ornate variation of Alice. Derived from the Old French name Aalis, which ultimately comes from the Germanic name Adalheidis meaning "noble type" or "nobility." The addition of the "h" at the end gives this classic name a contemporary twist while maintaining its elegant essence. Aliciah is relatively uncommon, making it an attractive option for parents seeking a familiar-sounding yet distinctive name. The name shares the rich literary and historical associations of Alice, including connections to Lewis Carroll's beloved character in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," while the unique spelling helps distinguish bearers from the more common Alice. Its pronunciation typically follows that of Alice with an added breath at the end.
