the name of the alicorn pictured here is from 'aille' or 'ali' (wing) and '-corn' (horn). It is wing-horn, a flying unicorn. I can understand how it could go both ways, of course, with a derivation of 'licorne' or even 'a li corne', but as far as I'm concerned that an alicorn is a unicorn with wings.
It is my favorite mythical creatrue of all times. To me it is symoblic for Indepence, Strong, and graceful.
