Meaning & origin
Belicia entered U.S. birth records in 1978 and achieved its highest usage in 2005, after which its popularity has declined. The name has never cracked the national top 1,000, placing it among rare choices. Its structure suggests a modern coinage rather than a name with deep historical roots. The trajectory since the mid-2000s has been falling, indicating that Belicia may have been a product of the era's taste for lyrical, feminine endings like -icia.
Belicia first appeared in the United States in the late 1970s and saw a modest peak in the 2000s. Its formation is likely a creative combination of the popular prefix 'Bel-' (found in names like Bella and Belinda) with the fashionable '-icia' suffix (seen in Alicia and Felicia). There is no clear derivation from any historical language or culture.
