Origin and meaning of Alícia
Alícia is the Portuguese form of Alice, from the Germanic Adalheidis, made of adal 'noble' and heid 'kind, sort' — 'of noble kind'. It entered common use through Old French Aalis and spread across Europe in the Middle Ages. In Portugal it's valued for its soft sound and for its literary echoes, from Lewis Carroll's heroine to countless characters in contemporary fiction.
