- The sound 'li' in the English 'Alicia' does not exist in Japanese, so it is replaced by the 'ri' sound in アリシア because the Japanese 'r' is a flap between an 'l' and an 'r'.
- The name アリシア can be used in Japanese pop culture, such as in video games or anime, to signal that a character is a foreigner or from a fantasy world.
- If an アリシア wants to have a Japanese name for official documents, they might choose kanji like 亜 'second' and 里 'village' to mimic the sounds of their original name.
