Meaning & origin
Trecia is a modern feminine name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1924, but its true popularity came during the 1960s. In 1969, its peak year, the name saw its highest usage, though it never cracked the national top 1000. Since then, its use has remained stable at very low levels. A handful of babies have been given the name each year, but it is not common enough to reliably calculate a 1-in-N frequency. The name is likely a respelling of Tricia, itself a diminutive of Patricia, or a blend of Teresa and Patricia, reflecting a mid-20th century trend for invented names ending in -cia.
