Belicia
Meaning of Belicia
Belicia is a distinctive female name of modern coinage, often viewed as a variant of Alicia or Felicia yet possessing its own character. Likely drawing on the Latin bella (“beautiful”) and felix (“happy”) roots, it conveys understated elegance and joy. It first appeared in U.S. naming data in the late 1970s and has since maintained a modest but steady presence in the Social Security Administration’s top 1,000, peaking at 34 births (rank 878) in 2003 and most recently assigned to seven newborns (rank 943) in 2024. Pronounced buh-LEE-shuh (/bəˈliːʃə/), it combines clear phonetics with a sense of reserved originality. Although it never cracked the top 500—a detail likely to appeal to parents keen to sidestep mainstream trends—its low-frequency use underscores a quiet charm that bridges classical roots and contemporary flair.
