Alethia (uh-LEE-thee-uh) is a feminine given name of Greek origin, rooted in the ancient word aletheia, meaning “truth.” The name saw occasional use in Latin ecclesiastical records before entering English-speaking registers. It has never reached widespread popularity in the United States, peaking at rank 354 in 1906 and settling near the lower 900s in the early 2020s, with just 11 newborns named Alethia in 2024. Parents are drawn to its clear pronunciation and virtue-centered meaning, viewing Alethia as an elegant, understated choice that combines classical heritage with a concise, modern sensibility.
