History & Origin

Alica is a streamlined spelling of Alicia, a form of Alice descended from the Germanic Adalheidis, 'noble kind'. It keeps the flowing three-beat sound of Alicia with a simpler look.

In the SSA records it appears in the later cohort, peaking around 1984 and staying rare beside the common Alicia. It reads as an uncommon respelling of a well-loved name rather than a distinct classic.

Did you know? Alica is one letter shy of Alicia but shares its noble pedigree: both trace, through Alice, to the old Germanic Adalheidis, the same root that gives us Adelaide.
