What is the meaning of the name alycia ?

The baby name alycia is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ə-LEE-shə (əˈliːʃə),ə-LIS-yə (əˈlɪsiə).

alycia is in Origin.

Alycia is a modern spelling of Alicia, itself the Latinate form of Alice. Alice developed from Old French Aalis/Alis, a short form of Adelais, ultimately from the Germanic Adalheidis (adal “noble” + heid “kind, type”). The core meaning is “noble,” often expanded as “of noble sort.” Pronunciations for Alycia vary - most commonly uh-LEE-sha or ah-LEE-see-uh - depending on region.

While Alice flourished in medieval Europe and was widely revived in the 19th century, Alicia rose in English‑speaking countries in the mid‑20th century; Alycia followed as a stylish 20th‑century variant, especially in North America and Australia. Related forms and cognates include Alicia, Alice, Alecia, Alisha/Alisia, Alysha, Alix, Alicja (Polish), Alícia (Catalan/Portuguese), and Adelaide/Adelheid as distant roots. Nicknames range from Ali and Allie to Cia and Lissy. Alycia pairs traditional aristocratic meaning with a contemporary look.
