Alithia is Greek in Origin.

Alithia derives from Greek alḗtheia/alítheia, meaning “truth.” The spelling with i reflects modern Greek transliteration (Alítheia), while related English forms often use e. The virtue concept made the name attractive in English-speaking circles familiar with classical learning; it parallels the semantic field of names like Verity. In literature and records, the broader family of Alethea/Alethia appears from the 17th century, when Greek-derived and virtue names briefly flourished among the educated and the devout.

Usage of Alithia itself is sporadic but persistent, found in Greek diaspora communities and among parents seeking a rare, classical choice. Variants and close forms include Alethea, Alethia, Aletheia, Alithea, and Alitheia; short forms include Thea, Allie, Lia, and Litha. While never common, the name has seen modest modern interest for its clear meaning, elegant vowels, and cross-cultural readability.
