Alecia

Alecia is an English given name functioning as a spelling variant of Alicia, itself a Latinized form of the Old French name Aalis, a short form of Adelais, which derives from the Germanic elements adal, meaning noble, and heid, meaning kind or type. The name belongs to a broad family of related forms that developed across medieval Europe from the same Germanic root. Other variants in this lineage include Alice, Alisha, Alissa, and Alisa. The spelling Alecia gained some modern recognition in part through American singer Alecia Moore, known professionally as Pink.
