Allycia

Allycia is an English variant spelling of Alicia, itself a medieval Latinized form of the Germanic name Adelaide, derived from the elements adal, meaning noble, and heid, meaning kind or type. The name entered wide use across Europe during the Middle Ages and was borne by several medieval noblewomen. Allycia represents a modern phonetic respelling intended to preserve the pronunciation while giving the name a more distinctive written form. Closely related forms include Alicia, Alycia, Alisha, and Alice.
