Yes, though the correct term is "lecithin" but some people have seen the wrong spelling and reproduced it. If you buy it in a supplement form, or see it on an ingredients list, you will always see "lecithin".
Lecithin is what you are looking for, not lethicin. It is a phospholipid. Which means that it has a phosphate part and a lipid part. This means that it has both water loving and water hating parts which makes it great for use in the body in places like the mucous membrane of our gut. It is not a protein.
Lecithin is a combination of phospholipids that naturally occur in soybeans. Lecithin gums are obtained from soy oil after the oil has been extracted from the soybean flakes. Lecithin is removed from the soybean oil using a steam precipitation process. Precipitate is spray dryed to be transformed into Lecithin powder for use as ingredient in dry foods and it has the same applications as the liquid Soya Lecithin
Lecithin is any of a group of yellow-brownish fatty substances occurring in animal and plant tissues, and in egg yolk. When it is extracted from soy, it is called soy-lecithin. It's still lecithin, it's just telling you where it comes from :)

Lecithin is a fatty substance found in animal and plant tissues, while sunflower lecithin is specifically derived from sunflower seeds. Sunflower lecithin is often preferred by those looking for a plant-based alternative to traditional lecithin, which can come from sources like soy or eggs.
Sunflower lecithin and soy lecithin are both sources of phospholipids, but sunflower lecithin is often preferred for those with soy allergies. Sunflower lecithin is also considered to be a healthier option due to its higher antioxidant content. Both types of lecithin are used as emulsifiers in food products, but sunflower lecithin is gaining popularity in the food industry due to its perceived health benefits.
Soy lecithin and sunflower lecithin are both used as emulsifiers in food products. Soy lecithin is derived from soybeans, while sunflower lecithin comes from sunflower seeds. Sunflower lecithin is often considered a healthier option because it is usually non-GMO and may be better tolerated by those with soy allergies.

There is no definite answer to this question since Lecithin (which is an emulsifier) may be derived form either plant (i.e. soy lecithin) - or animal source. Here in Germany it is specifically written if the lecithin is derived from soy beans (= soy lecithin). If only "lecithin" is written on the product, one has to ensure (f.e. by contacting the producer) whether its derived from animal or plant-source. See more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecithin
Lecithin can come from two main sources; soy or eggs. Clearly if you have a soy allergy, eating soy lecithin is unwise. Luckily, if lecithin is from soy, it must be labelled "soy lecithin" on the packaging. Eating egg lecithin should present no problems. I should point out that the vast majority of regular chocolate bars contain soy lecithin rather than egg; lecithin-free chocolate is a specialty product which can sometimes be found in specialist chocolateries or health-food stores.
Lecithin supplements are either sold in a liquid or granular form. Lecithin has a mild light taste that is not offensive when eaten alone.
many studies of the effects of lecithin had faulty methods, and the few good studies proved that lecithin was not effective in lowering cholesterol.
