Burnice

Burnice Origin and Meaning

The name Burnice is a boy's name.

Burnice is a masculine name variant of the more common Bernice, which derives from Greek 'Berenikē' meaning 'bringing victory.' This spelling with 'u' instead of 'e' gives the name a distinctive appearance while maintaining the original pronunciation. Historically, Bernice appears in the New Testament as a feminine name, but Burnice emerged as a male variant primarily in early to mid-20th century America, particularly in southern regions. The name peaked in popularity between the 1910s-1940s but has since become quite rare. Though uncommon today, Burnice carries a vintage charm and uniqueness that might appeal to parents looking for distinctive traditional names with historical roots.
