Celicia is Latin in Origin.

Celicia is a modern feminine given name most plausibly derived from Cecilia, the Latin Caecilia (from caecus, “blind”), though its form also invites a blended reading of Celia (from Latin caelum, “heaven, sky”) and Alicia (from Germanic Adalheidis, “noble”). The name surfaces in English-language records from the mid-to-late 20th century as a creative variant, with sporadic use in the United States and the Caribbean, and occasional appearance in Latin America and the Philippines alongside traditional Cecilia.

Related forms and near-variants include Cecilia, Cecelia, Cecília, Cécile, Cecily, Celia/Célia, and Alicia/Alecia; short forms Cece, Cici, Celie, and Lici are common nicknames. Meaning depends on the etymology chosen: as a Cecilia variant it carries the traditional sense “blind,” while as a Celia–Alicia blend it suggests “heavenly and noble.” Celicia offers a distinctive twist on a venerable Latin family of names.
