With roots in Germanic nobility, Alicia is a Latinized form of Alice, ultimately deriving from the Old German name Adalheidis, meaning “noble natured” or “of noble kind”. This elegant name has been borne by many accomplished women, including Grammy-winning singer Alicia Keys and Oscar-winning actress Alicia Vikander. It also shares its etymological origin with the Australian city Adelaide, named after Queen Adelaide, consort of King William IV. A popular variant across Europe, Alicia offers a softer, more romantic alternative to the classic Alice while retaining its timeless appeal. In Scotland, Alicia has been a steady choice since the 1970s, often favoured for its melodic, international feel.
