Cheerful, joyful, or pretty
Jolicia is a modern American coinage, likely created by blending the French word 'joli' (meaning pretty) with the popular suffix '-icia', or as a variation of Felicia. It conveys a sense of happiness and charm. Because it is a contemporary invention, it does not have a singular ancient etymology.
