Shalecia is a unique and captivating female given name of African American origin. Derived from the Latin word 'Salacia', which means 'calm', Shalecia has a soothing and elegant ring to it. It is composed of two distinct parts: 'Sha' and 'lecia'. The name is not particularly common, but its unique sound makes it memorable and distinctive. Shalecia can also be associated with the Roman goddess Salacia, who was the personification of calm seas and smooth sailing. This connection adds a touch of mystique and allure to the name.
"Shalecia had a notable rise in popularity between 1989 and 1990, with nine babies named Shalecia born in the former year and six in the latter. After a five-year gap, there were again six newborns given this name in 1993. The trend continued but declined slightly in 1997, with five births recorded that year. Overall, from 1989 to 1997, Shalecia was chosen as a baby's name twenty-six times."
