Daricia is English in Origin.

Daricia is a modern feminine name built on the base Dar- (as in Daria or Dara) plus the Latinate suffix -icia, from Latin -icia/-icius used in names like Leticia and Patricia. Through Daria - derived via Greek and Latin from the Persian royal name Darius - Daricia is often interpreted as “to possess, uphold good,” or “wealthy.” The root also echoes Dara, which carries meanings such as “oak” (Irish) and “wisdom” (Hebrew), giving the coinage a layered, multicultural resonance.

The name shows little attestation in historical records and emerges sporadically in late 20th–21st‑century usage, chiefly in English-speaking and Lusophone settings; in Portuguese it may appear as Darícia. Related forms and near-variants include Daria and Darice, while informal shortenings like Dari or Cia occur in practice. Overall, Daricia suits parents seeking a distinctive, lyrical -icia ending with classical roots yet contemporary flair.
