Licia is a female first name.
Recently, the name Licia has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Licia. That means that a girl named Licia is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Licia.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Licia. Girls named Licia have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,424 Licia ranked higher than ever in 1960. By comparison, there have been 90 years in which the first name Licia has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Licia only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Licia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Licia is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 45 Americans in total bear this name. And these 45 women are located in only three states: California, Michigan and New York (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Licia and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Licia in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 532,604 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Licia.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names – 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A and S.
With five letters, the name Licia is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with an L, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. If you are now wondering which girls' name with L is the most common... the answer is Linda.
If your name is Licia and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
