Alecia

Girl name · 13 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Alecia: 13 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2010.

Alecia is a modern English variant of Alicia, itself derived from the Old French Adelais and ultimately from the Germanic Adalheidis, meaning “noble kind” or “of noble birth.” The name gained popular recognition through Alecia Beth Moore, known worldwide as the singer Pink, whose raw talent and rebellious spirit have made the name feel both strong and creative. While no major places share the name directly, the root “Adal” appears in many European royal and placenames, linking it to a heritage of dignity. Alecia also counts as a spelling cousin to Alicia and Alisha, offering a slightly less common yet familiar alternative that retains the same melodic, classic feel.
