What is the meaning of the name Licia ?

The baby name Licia is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced LEE-chah (IPA: /ˈliː.tʃa/ — Italian).

Licia is Italian in Origin.

Licia is an Italian feminine name, most often a short form of Alicia or Felicia, and sometimes linked to the Roman name Licinia or to the classical place-name Lycia. Through Alicia (ultimately from Germanic Adalheidis), it carries the sense "noble." Via Felicia (from Latin felix), it can mean "happy, fortunate." Association with Licinia ties it to the Roman family name Licinius, probably from Latin licinus "upturned."

In modern use it has been especially well known in Italy since the 20th century, borne by figures such as soprano Licia Albanese and novelist Licia Troisi. Variants and related forms include Lícia (Portuguese), Lycia (English/Fr), Licinia (Latin), and longer bases Alicia and Felicia; diminutives such as Lici also appear in Italian and Spanish.
