Benicya is a rare modern feminine given name, most likely a creative spelling of Benicia. Benicia is the Spanish feminine form linked to Benicio, ultimately from the Latin root bene 'good'; through its ties to Benedictus and Benignus, it carries meanings such as 'blessed,' 'kind,' and 'benevolent.' Many speakers pronounce Benicya as beh-NEE-see-uh, mirroring Benicia.

Benicia entered wider awareness in 19th-century California via Francisca Benicia Carrillo de Vallejo, for whom the city of Benicia was named, and it has seen modest use across Spanish- and English-speaking communities.
