Berenyce Origin and Meaning

The name Berenyce is a girl's name.

Berenyce is a feminine name with ancient Greek origins, being a variant spelling of Berenice, which derives from 'pherenike' meaning 'bearer of victory.' The name has royal historical connections, most notably to Queen Berenice II of Egypt in the 3rd century BCE. This spelling variation adds an elegant touch with the 'y' replacing the 'i' in the traditional form. While never widely popular, the name carries a classical sophistication and exotic quality. The variant Berenyce is considerably rarer than Berenice or the modern form Bernice, which saw its peak popularity in the early 20th century. The name evokes images of classical antiquity and carries connotations of strength and triumph, offering historical depth with a distinctive spelling.
