Licia

This name is a short form of Alicia and Felicia. It is of Germanic and Latin origin and comes from the following roots: (ADALHAID / ADALHAIDIS) and (FĒLIX). Alice is a feminized form of the Old French female name “Alis” (older “Aalis,” a Norman French for “Alice”), a short form of “Adelais,” which derives from the Germanic name Adalhaid / Adalhaidis, composed of two elements: “*aþalaz” (noble, nobleman, aristocratic, eminent, glorious, excellent one) and “*haiduz” (kind, sort, appearance, personality, character, manner, way). Felicia derives from the Latin “fēlix,” meaning “happiness, good fortune, good luck, fertile, rich in crops and fruits.”
