Meaning & origin
Elycia is a modern feminine name that first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1969. Its meaning is uncertain, likely a creative combination of Elyse and Alicia with a fashionable -ia suffix. The name peaked in popularity in 2002, reaching its highest usage that year, but has been on a downward trend since 2003, making it a relatively rare choice among contemporary baby names. With a current rank of 14,942 and an incidence of only 1 in 321,453 births in 2025, Elycia remains an uncommon but recognizable name, appreciated for its melodic sound and contemporary feel.
