Elicia
Elicia Origin and Meaning
Elicia is a feminine name with Latin origins, functioning as a variant of Alicia or Elisha. The name ultimately derives from the Germanic Adelaide, meaning 'noble type' or 'noble kind.' With its melodic four syllables and soft consonants, Elicia has an elegant, flowing quality that feels both classical and contemporary. While never among the most popular names, Elicia has maintained consistent if modest usage throughout recent decades. The name offers a balance between familiarity and distinctiveness—recognizable in sound but less common in spelling than similar alternatives. Elicia carries subtle connections to biblical traditions through its relationship to Elisha while maintaining a modern, feminine appeal that works well across cultural boundaries.
