History & Origin

Flecia is a contracted spelling of Felicia, from the Latin felix, 'happy', 'lucky', or 'fortunate', the same root behind 'felicity'. Trimming the opening syllable gives a quicker, two-beat sound. A girl named Flecia near its faint peak in the late nineteen-sixties is in her fifties today.

It never became a standard spelling, appearing rarely beside the fuller Felicia. The Latin sense of good fortune carries through either way.

Did you know? Felicia comes from the same Latin root as 'felicity' and 'felicitations' - all tied to happiness and good fortune.
