Heliciah is in Origin.

Heliciah is a modern, extremely rare coinage in English. It most plausibly blends Helicia - a botanical Latin name linked to the Greek root helix/helikos “spiral, winding” - with the Hebrew theophoric suffix -iah, denoting relation to Yahweh and familiar from Isaiah or Jeremiah. In this hybrid, -iah functions as a devotional ending rather than adding a fixed semantic element to the Greek base.

By extension, Heliciah is often interpreted as “belonging to Yahweh” with classical overtones; some also read it as an embellished variant of Elisha/Elishah (Hebrew “my God is salvation”), yielding a similar faith-inflected meaning. Usage appears only sporadically in late 20th–21st‑century records and has no established regional stronghold. Variant spellings and near-forms include Helicia, Helisia, Helisiah, and Helishah; related biblical forms by structure include Hilkiah and Hezekiah. Its rarity and mixed roots make Heliciah a distinctive, contemporary choice.
