Phelicia is a girl’s name of Latin origin. A super-sweet take on timeless Felix, which was most popular throughout the Middle Ages, Phelicia can be translated as “lucky,” “successful,” “fortunate,” or “happy.” In medieval times, there were many ways to welcome favor and fortune into a household. Horseshoes made of iron were often nailed to doors to ward off the darkness, while candles were thought to overpower evil with their light.
