Avicia is in Origin.

Avicia is a medieval Latinized feminine name, most often a documentary form of Avice/Avis used in Anglo-Norman records. Etymologically it goes back to a Continental Germanic root av-/aw- of uncertain sense (also behind Ava), later reshaped in English by association with Latin avis, “bird,” which supplied the familiar folk meaning.

In use across Normandy and England from the 12th to the 14th centuries, Avicia appears in charters and tax rolls before fading after the Middle Ages. The name survives through its close variants Avice, Avis, Avys, and Avise, with Ava as a modern cognate rather than a strict variant. Today Avicia is extremely rare, appealing to those who like vintage Norman names with a light, lyrical sound. Meanings given range from the scholarly “of unknown Germanic origin” to the popular “bird,” reflecting its layered history.
