Alicia by the numbers

In 2025, 78 babies in England and Wales were named Alicia. In the US, 861 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.

For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in the US than in England and Wales.

Its American peak was 7,819 babies in 1984, so it is a 1980s name that has since fallen a long way.

At its height, in 1985, about 1 in 260 American girls born that year was called Alicia.
