Alicia is a Latinized form of Alice, which descends from the Old French Aalis and the Germanic Adelheid and means "noble" or "of noble kind". Singer Alicia Keys and actress Alicia Silverstone are its best-known American bearers; in Spanish the name is pronounced ah-LEE-see-ah. Alicia ranked number 121 in the United States in 2000 and has slowly declined since, holding the 410s for several years before settling at number 460 in 2025.
