Alicea

Alicea is a variant of Alicia, which is a form of Alice, derived from the Germanic name Adalheidis. This ancient name combines elements meaning "noble" and "kind," or "noble nature." It originated with Germanic tribes in early medieval Europe, then traveled to France, evolving into Adelais, and later to England with the Norman Conquest in 1066, where it became Alice, flourishing among royalty and commoners alike for centuries.
