Meaning & origin
Felicie first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1883, its peak year and the only year it appears in the data until its sporadic reemergence in the 21st century. The name has a falling trajectory since 2019, indicating diminishing use among a very small number of births. It remains a rare choice, with no recorded top states or strong regional concentration. Its classic French sound and cheerful meaning make it an alternative to more common names like Felicity or Amelie.
Felicie is the French feminine form of the Latin name Felix, meaning 'happy' or 'fortunate'. It was used in medieval France and appears in various European languages, such as Spanish Felicia and Italian Felicia. The name has remained in occasional use in French-speaking regions and beyond.
