Meaning & origin
Felicha is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1967, during a period when inventive spellings of traditional names became fashionable. It reached its peak popularity in 1975, but has never ranked in the national top 1000. In recent years, the name has remained stable in usage, with fewer than 5 births per year on average. The spelling 'Felicha' is a less common variant of Felicia, which itself derives from the Latin word for 'luck'. Despite its obscurity, Felicha offers a distinctive alternative to more familiar forms like Felicia or Felicity.
