Re: Demicia - origins?
You can never be sure with Latin names, but there doesn't seem to be any Saint or literary/historical character with that name (or Demicio), which makes me think it was invented. My guess is that it is a variation of Domicia (Latin: Domitia), perhaps inspired by the names Demi and Demetria.

My guess is that it is a variation of Domicia (Latin: Domitia), perhaps inspired by the names Demi and Demetria.This, or a contracted form of Demetricia (which I guess is a combination of Demetria and Patricia or an other name ending in -cia).

That's what I was thinking too, that it could be invented. It just confused me how, then, the people with that name seem to come from various countries; did they all randomly have the same idea for a name?
