Phyllicia Origin and Meaning

The name Phyllicia is a girl's name.

Phyllicia is a feminine name representing a variation of Phyllis or Felicia, with Greek origins. The name ultimately derives from the Greek word "phyllon," meaning "leaf." This elegant variation combines the classic name Phyllis with the softer ending of Felicia, creating a distinctive yet recognizable option. Phyllicia gained some recognition through actress Phylicia Rashad (originally Phylicia Ayers-Allen), known for her role on "The Cosby Show" in the 1980s and 90s. While never extremely common, this spelling variation offers a unique twist on more familiar names, providing both classical roots and a contemporary feel. The name suggests a connection to nature while maintaining a sophisticated, feminine quality.
