What is the meaning of the name Alicja ?

The baby name Alicja is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced Polish IPA: /aˈlit͡sja/; respelling: ah-LEET-syah.

Alicja is Polish in Origin.

Alicja is the Polish form of Alice, ultimately from Old High German Adalheidis (“adal” noble + “heid” kind/sort), via Old French Aalis/Adelais and medieval Alice. It conveys the meaning “noble,” “of noble kind,” and shares roots with Adelaide.

In Poland, the name took firm hold in the late 19th and 20th centuries, aligning with European tastes and the enduring literary fame of Lewis Carroll’s heroine - published in Polish as Alicja w Krainie Czarów. It remains a popular choice today. Common Polish diminutives include Ala, Alusia, Alka, and Aliczka. International variants and cognates include Alice (English/French/Italian), Alicia (English/Spanish), Alícia (Catalan), Alica (Slovak/Czech), Alíz (Hungarian), Alisa (Russian/Lithuanian), and Adelaide/Adelheid as ancestral forms; related spellings such as Alecia and Alise also occur. The name’s long association with European nobility and saints lends it a classic, dignified character while staying friendly and modern in everyday use.
