How to Pronounce Alecea
Pronounced uh-LEE-shuh /ΙΛliΛΚΙ/Medium
Meaning: Alecea is a variant spelling of Alicia or Alecia, both softened forms of Alice. Alice descends from the Germanic Adalheidis, joining adal, 'noble,' to heid, 'kind, sort,' for 'of a noble kind.' Alicia added a Latinate polish, and Alecea keeps that meaning with an inventive spelling.Low

History & Origin
Alecea is one of the many spellings of Alicia, the Latinate form of Alice from the Germanic Adalheidis, 'noble kind.' Alicia was a steady favorite through the late twentieth century, and off-spellings such as Alecea trailed it as parents sought a version that felt like their own.
As spelled here the name stayed rare, given to only about fourteen girls a year at its peak in the two-thousands and to barely more than a hundred all told. A girl named Alecea then is in her late teens or twenties now, at the quiet edge of the long Alicia trend.
