Meaning & origin
Julicia is a modern feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1988 and reached its peak popularity in 1989. Despite that early spike, it has remained extremely rare; in 2025 it ranked 14,942, with only about 1 in 321,453 newborns receiving the name. Its trajectory has been stable, neither growing nor declining significantly over the past few decades. Julicia seems to be a blend of Julia and Alicia, fitting the late-20th-century trend of creating melodic, -cia ending names. Because it is so uncommon, it does not have strong associations with any particular state or region, and no top states recorded notable usage. Parents choosing Julicia today are likely drawn to its unique, contemporary sound and its link to more established names like Julia and Alicia.
Julicia appears to be a modern coinage blending the names Julia (from Latin Julius, meaning 'youthful') and Alicia (from Germanic Adalheidis, meaning 'noble'). It emerged in the United States in the late 1980s, likely as a creative variant within the trend of -cia endings popular at the time.
