Actually, Alicia is not a latenizied form of Alice. Wrong. Alice is an "anglicated" form of Alicia. You should know that Alicia is a name used by romans and they introduced the name in Britannia (today, England).

FYI
In the entry for Alicia the word Latinate isn't meant to imply that it derives from Latin, but that it is said/spelled in "the Latin way".
