Lacricia is a rare and distinctive given name of Latin origin, derived from the masculine name Laxinius, which is believed to be of Etruscan descent. The name Lacricia is thought to have been popular among ancient Roman families during the Empire period. It is composed of two elements: 'lacrima', meaning 'tear' in Latin, and 'ius', meaning 'pertaining to'. The name may have been intended as an expression of tears of joy or sorrow, though its exact interpretation remains unclear. Lacricia is not a name that has enjoyed widespread popularity throughout history; however, it is occasionally encountered in historical records and literature, where it is used for female characters. In modern times, Lacricia continues to be a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their daughter.
"Lacricia saw its peak in popularity during the 1970s with seven births recorded in 1971, followed by a decline in subsequent years, and then a resurgence in 1989."
