Meaning & origin
Felcia is an uncommon spelling variant of the classic name Felicia. According to Social Security data, it first appeared in 1966 and experienced a brief peak in 1968, though it has never ranked among the top 1,000 names. The name has remained consistently rare, with no recorded uptick in recent years. Its trajectory is stable but extremely low in usage, with an estimated 1-in-N rate so high it is not calculable from public data. Felcia was confined to the 1960s and shows no signs of revival. As a streamlined form of Felicia, it offers a distinctive alternative to the more traditional spelling, but its rarity means it is unlikely to be encountered often.
Felcia is primarily a spelling variant of Felicia, the feminine form of the Latin name Felix, meaning 'lucky' or 'fortunate'. While Felicia has been in use since Roman times, the Felcia spelling is a modern, streamlined adaptation that appeared in the mid-20th century.
