Sicilia
Meaning of Sicilia
Sicilia is a feminine name of Italian origin, directly taken from the Latin term for the island of Sicily to signify a connection with that region’s rich historical and cultural legacy. Pronounced sih-CHEE-lee-uh (/siːˈtʃi.li.ə/), it offers a clear Italian form that is easily rendered in English. In the United States, Sicilia has maintained a consistently modest presence: it first entered the Social Security Administration’s top 1,000 names in 1997 at rank 862, and since then it has fluctuated within the 900s, registering between seven and twenty-two births annually. In 2024, nineteen girls received the name, placing it at number 931 and reflecting a slight uptick in recent years. This relative rarity, coupled with its historical and geographical associations, may appeal to parents seeking a distinctive yet culturally grounded choice.
