Meaning and history
Delicia is a feminine name from Latin deliciae, meaning “delight,” “pleasure,” or “darling.” It entered English and Romance-language naming as a direct virtue-like or affectionate formation and is related to the English adjective delicious only through the same Latin family. It should not be confused with Delia, which has separate Greek and literary origins. Reliable prominent real-life bearers using exactly Delicia are limited, so the clear Latin lexical meaning is more dependable than speculative namesake lists.
