What is the meaning of the name Alethiea ?

The baby name Alethiea is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced uh-LEE-thee-uh /əˈliːθiə/.

Alethiea is Greek in Origin.

Alethiea is a contemporary variant of Alethea, derived from the Ancient Greek aletheia, meaning "truth" or "verity." Adopted in 17th-century England amid fashion for classical and virtue names, it appeared among both aristocratic families and Puritan communities; Lady Alethea Talbot helped normalize the form. The name has surfaced sporadically in English-speaking countries since, with modest Victorian and late-20th-century revivals.

Common variants include Alethea, Aletheia, Alethia, Alithea, and the shortened Aletha; related diminutives are Thea, Allie, and Letha. Alethiea is typically pronounced uh-LEE-thee-uh, sometimes uh-LEE-thee-ah. It is frequently mistaken for Althea, but that name has a separate origin ("healer") and history. For parents drawn to understated virtue names with classical roots, Alethiea carries a graceful sound and the enduring ideal of truthfulness.
