Origin of the name Alicia

The form of the name “Alicia” is the Spanish variant of the European name Alice, Alice. The original name Alice comes from the group of Romano-Germanic languages.

For example, there is the Proto-Germanic word “adal”, which means “nobility”, “high in family”, and the name Adelaide derived from it. Its short form (Alis/Alias) “Alice” passed into Old French, and then, along with the Norman invasion of the lands of Britain, penetrated into Old English and changed the pronunciation to Alice.

There is also a version of the origin of the name Alicia from the Latin word “alis” – “wings”, which is also very likely. The name has a foothold in Europe, but has recently gained popularity on all continents. And in America, its most popular form has become Alyssia – a combination of the classic Alicia and the name of the fragrant flower alyssum.

The meaning and characteristics of the name Alicia

The diminutive ending -ia in Spanish gives a different color to the meaning of “high in gender.” Alicia is more of a “little princess,” a “noble baby.”

The name Alicia, although derived from the name Alice, has become an independent form. And largely due to the fact that its soft sound softens the original name and brightens up its negative traits: stubbornness, frivolity, selfishness. Alicia’s character is gentler and more attractive.

These are mischievous and sunny girls. Not too capricious, rather persistent. Smiling, kind, cheerful. About such mothers they say with affection “egoza”, “cunning”, “sweetheart”. But this childish spontaneity and recklessness is then balanced by Alicia’s upbringing and inner core.

Having experienced a period of teenage maximalism, Alicia begins to confidently and thoughtfully choose her path in life. Fully natural femininity, seductiveness and softness are revealed. If you do not indulge a superficial view of life from childhood (clothes, vanity, empty communication), but develop the child’s talent, then Alicia will grow into a talented and deep personality.

But there is still a risk of raising a frivolous dummy. An overly sweet and flirty girl is growing up. The role of the father is great here, who can correct the mother’s behavior and prevent Alicia from being spoiled.

They study well, can be excellent students and carry out responsible assignments. In general, Alicia can carry out routine and complex work with a light heart. Lightness and airiness combine perfectly with strong willpower, the ability to plan and achieve goals.

Alicia has a wide range of careers. Sensitive, musical, with a great sense of beauty, with highly developed intuition – all creative directions, any work with people and animals are within her reach. But accounting work, work as a lawyer, estimator, engineer will not seem dull to her. Alicia, oddly enough, can be diligent and thorough in detail.

And yet, her breadth of nature and natural cunning will push her to search for an extraordinary and bright career path. Alicia will never be a careerist and a classic “mymra” from the film “Office Romance.” Self-realization, pleasure from work and family will come first. But not at once.

There will be many novels, because… Alicia is unusually attractive to men, and she herself is amorous. But over time, he will definitely choose a mate. She may be late for motherhood, but she will be a good mother. Moreover, more like a mother-friend than a mother hen or an authoritative and strict mother.
