History & Origin

Falicia is a spelling variant of Felicia, feminine of the Roman Felix ('lucky, happy'). Writing the opening as 'Fa-' mirrors the unstressed sound and gave the classic a fresh, personal look.

It rode Felicia's popularity into the mid-nineteen-nineties, reaching its faint high point around 1994 before receding. A Falicia today is likely a Millennial, while the standard Felicia remains far more familiar.

Did you know? Falicia followed Felicia's late-century revival, peaking around 1994 without ever becoming common.
