Felicja is Latin in Origin.
Felicja is the Polish form of Felicia, ultimately from the Latin cognomen Felix, meaning happy, fortunate, successful, via the feminine Felicia and the abstract noun Felicitas, also the name of a Roman goddess of good fortune. The name is tied to early Christian devotion through the martyrs Saint Felicity (Felicitas) of Rome and Saint Felicity of Carthage, anchoring its use across Europe from late antiquity onward.
In Poland, Felicja appeared in church records by the early modern period, gained steady popularity in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and today feels vintage yet international. Common Polish diminutives include Fela, Felka, and Felcia; the masculine counterpart is Feliks. Close variants and cognates include Felicia (English/Scandinavian), Félicie (French), Felícia (Hungarian/Portuguese), Felicita (Italian), and Felicitas or Felizitas (German/Latin); related virtue forms include Felicidade (Portuguese) and Felicidad (Spanish). The core meaning centers on happiness, good luck, and flourishing.
