Alycia

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Alycia: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2012.

Alycia is a modern spelling variant of Alicia, itself a Latinised form of Alice. That name traces back through Old French Adelais to the Germanic Adalheidis, meaning “noble” or “of noble kind.” Among notable bearers, Australian actress Alycia Debnam-Carey gained fame for her roles in *The 100* and *Fear the Walking Dead*, while American journalist Alycia Lane became a familiar face on CBS. No specific places are named after an Alycia, though the root shares its “noble” meaning with many European royal names. Interestingly, this particular spelling has appeared regularly on Scottish birth registers since the 1990s, reflecting a broader trend of reimagining classic names with a fresh, slightly more modern feel while retaining their elegant, timeless meaning.
