Alyciah is in Origin.
Alyciah is a modern, ornamental spelling of Alycia/Alicia, names descending from medieval Spanish Alicia and Old French Aalis/Aliz, ultimately from the Germanic Adalheidis (Adelaide). The elements adal “noble” + heid “kind, type” yield the meaning “noble” or “of noble sort.” The terminal -h is a contemporary stylistic flourish rather than a change in etymology, and pronunciation typically mirrors Alicia or Alycia (uh-LEE-see-uh or uh-LEE-shuh).
While Alice flourished in medieval England and across Europe, Alicia entered English by the Middle Ages and saw renewed 20th‑century popularity; Alycia gained currency chiefly in Anglophone countries from the 1960s onward. Alyciah appears in records from the late 1990s, remaining rare and distinctive. Related forms and variants include Alice, Alicia, Alycia, Alecia, Alisha, Alysia, Alisia, Alysha, and the cognate Adelaide; diminutives Ali, Lissy, and Cia are common.
