Alicia

Pronunciation: ə-LEE-shə, ah-LEE-cee-ə (key)

Origin of the name Alicia:

Variant of Alice, a name that has evolved through a series of variants of the Germanic Adalheidis, a compound name composed of the elements adal (noble, nobility) and heid (kind, sort): hence, "noble one." Adalheidis was contracted to Adalheid, which the French changed to Adelaide, then contracted to Adaliz, and contracted yet again to Aaliz, Alia, and Alix. The English then changed the spelling to Aeleis, Alys, and eventually to Alice.

My father chose my name. He liked the Russian ballerina Alicia Markova, and named me after her. I have never especially liked my name. It always felt way too fancy for me, but I've never made a serious attempt to change it.
