History & Origin
Alic is a thin, informal spelling of Alec, which Scots and English speakers long used as a friendly short form of Alexander. The parent name means 'defender of men,' from the Greek roots for defend and man. Given as a full first name only occasionally, Alic never gathered a following of its own.
It was never common in the United States, reaching only about fifteen boys a year at its quiet high in the early nineteen-nineties. A boy named Alic then is a young adult today.
