Noble character or kind, in the Alice-derived naming tradition.
Alicia is documented as a Latinate Alice form. The Alice entry proposes Germanic elements meaning noble and character. This qualified root interpretation is separate from the licensed sweet or honest glosses.
Latinate form of Alice, with Old French and Germanic ancestry.
The exact English entry identifies Alice, Old French Adelais and Germanic Adalheid. Latinate formation is distinct from an ultimately Latin root.

Counts apply only to the exact spelling, place, year and recorded usage shown. Places are separate; these figures are never added into a worldwide total. Missing or suppressed records never mean zero.
| Place | Year | Recorded usage | Published births | Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 2025 | Girls | 115 · preliminary | 272 | 2025 figures are preliminary. Quebec counts below five are randomly imputed by the publisher before national aggregation. Accents are removed in the source; this profile was matched only where the catalog spelling was unambiguous. Unpublished values are unknown, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| France | 2025 | Girls | 405 (rounded to 5) | 127 | Counts are rounded to the nearest multiple of five. Ranks use unrounded publisher counts with randomly ordered ties; equally rounded counts can have different ranks. National coverage excludes Mayotte before 2012. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Automated direction labels are withheld for this rounded-count series. Rank basis: source published. |
| England & Wales | 2025 | Girls | 78 | 514 | Published ranks differ from ranks calculated over visible rows. Counts retained; automated trend labels withheld. Rank basis: source published. |

| Scotland | 2025 | Girls | 5 | 539 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Ireland | 2025 | Girls | 11 | 352 | Names below three occurrences are unpublished. Accent recording changed in 2018; comparisons across that boundary may not describe the same spelling coverage. Counts refer to registrations in the year. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| United States | 2025 | Girls | 672 | 460 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |
