Elycia is English in Origin.

Elycia is a modern feminine given name likely formed as a blend or respelling of Elysia and Alicia. Elysia traces to Greek Elysion, the Elysian Fields, giving the sense of "blissful" or "from a blessed place." Alicia is a Latinate form of Alice, itself from the Germanic Adalheidis, meaning "noble kind." Through these intertwined routes, Elycia carries layered associations of nobility and felicity, with a melodic, classical feel despite its contemporary spelling.

Usage is rare and largely Anglophone, appearing in late 20th- and early 21st-century records in the United States, Canada, and Australia as parents embraced inventive y-insertions and blended forms. Related variants and near-equivalents include Elysia, Alicia, Alycia, Elicia, Elisia, Alysia, and Alisha. Short forms and nicknames such as Ely, Lici/Lyci, Cia, and Lissy are common. The name's flexibility makes it cross-cultural while remaining distinctive.
