History & Origin
Telicia is a later-century American coinage that reworks Felicia, from Latin felix, 'lucky, happy', into the rhythm of names like Latricia. The result keeps the graceful -licia tail and the sunny meaning of the parent while sounding newly minted.
It was never common: only a couple dozen girls a year, with a soft peak around 1991 and a run that thins out by the mid-two-thousands. A girl named Telicia then is in her thirties now. It reads as a name of its moment rather than a current revival.
