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 contracted form of the Germanic name Adalheidis. That Germanic compound combines the elements adal, meaning noble, and heid, meaning kind or sort, yielding an overall sense of noble kind or of noble character. The name gained wide use in medieval Europe through the popularity of Adelaide and its related forms, and was later reinforced by Lewis Carroll's famous fictional character. Other variants and cognates include Alice, Alicia, Alisha, and Alissa.
