Selicia is English in Origin.

Selicia is a rare modern feminine given name in English, likely created by blending the Sel- element familiar from Selene/Selena (Greek selene, “moon”) with the Latinizing -icia ending seen in Alicia and Felicia. Some regard it as a phonetic twist on Felicia with the initial consonant softened, a pattern common in contemporary naming. Because it arose through analogy rather than from a single root, its etymology is associative.

Usage appears sporadically from the late 20th century onward, primarily in the United States and other Anglophone countries, where it offers a familiar rhythm with uncommon polish. Spelling variants and near-forms include Celicia, Selissia, and Selisha; related names are Selena, Selina, Alicia, and Felicia. Nicknames Seli, Lici, and Cia are natural. Meaning is read by association: “moon” from Selene, paired with either “noble” (via Alicia/Alice) or “fortunate, happy” (via Felicia).
