What is the meaning of the name Licia-May ?

The baby name Licia-May is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced LEE-chah-MAY (IPA: /ˈliːtʃə.meɪ/).

Licia-May is English, Italian, Latin in Origin.

Licia-May combines an Italian-rooted diminutive with a vintage English flourish. Licia is used in Italy both as an independent name and as a short form of Alicia and Felicia. Alicia ultimately derives from the Germanic Adalheidis (“noble, of noble kind”), while Felicia stems from Latin felix (“happy, fortunate”). In Italian, Licia can also echo the classical place-name Lycia (Licia), adding a subtle geographic-historic note. Pronunciations vary: English often LEE-sha; Italian LEE-cha. May derives from the month name (Latin Maius, linked to the goddess Maia) and also serves as a traditional pet form of Mary or Margaret.

Usage places Licia principally in Italy and among Romance-language speakers, with Licia-May fitting modern Anglophone trends for double-barrel names. The element May peaked in the late 19th–early 20th centuries and has revived in hyphenated forms. Variants and relatives include Licia May (unhyphenated), Licia-Mae, Alicia-May, Felicia-May, plus Alicia, Alice, Felicia, May, and Mae.
