Jalicia
Meaning of Jalicia
Jalicia emerges as a modern American elaboration of the classical Alicia—it preserves the Old Germanic root adal (“noble”) while the added “Ja–” lends a contemporary twist. Pronounced in English as juh-LEE-shuh (/dʒəˈliːʃə/), it has maintained a quietly consistent but modest presence in U.S. birth records since the late 1980s. Annual occurrences usually hover in the teens or twenties, peaking at 33 newborns in 2007 and generally ranking between 780 and 970, which underscores its niche appeal. This steady, low-volume usage suggests that parents drawn to Jalicia appreciate both its nod to traditional meaning and its reserve from mainstream trends—few enough, some might quip dryly, that day-care roll calls stay uncomplicated.
