In 30 seconds: Dollicia is a modern coinage that seems to elaborate Delicia ('delight') or Dolly. It appeared only briefly in US records in the early nineteen-sixties (said duh-LEE-shuh).

Dollicia looks like a built name, lengthening Delicia, from Latin deliciae 'delight,' or the affectionate Dolly into something more ornate. No independent meaning is recorded, but the Delicia link gives it a plausible sense of 'delight.' We note the route is uncertain.
It surfaced only around 1962 and 1963 and never rose above roughly sixteen girls a year. That marks it as a brief mid-century invention rather than an established name, and it has not returned since.
Did you know? Dollicia is a mid-century curiosity: it turns up in US records only around the early nineteen-sixties, given to a small handful of girls, so anyone who bore it then would be in their sixties today.
