Berniece Origin and Meaning

The name Berniece is a girl's name.

Berniece is a feminine name of French and Greek origins, representing a variant spelling of Bernice, which means 'bringer of victory.' This less common spelling with the extra 'e' emerged in the early 20th century when creative variations of traditional names became fashionable. Berniece peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s, fitting perfectly with the era's preference for names ending in '-ce' sounds. While it has declined in usage since the mid-20th century, it maintains a vintage charm that appeals to parents seeking revival names with historical character. The name offers the friendly nicknames 'Bernie' or 'Niece' and carries associations of strength through its victorious meaning.
