Candis Origin and Meaning

The name Candis is a girl's name.

Candis is a feminine name that serves as a variant spelling of Candice or Candace. It derives from an ancient Ethiopian royal title 'Kandake,' meaning 'queen mother' or 'queen regent,' which appears in the Bible in the Book of Acts. The spelling variation Candis gives the classic name a modern feel while maintaining its regal heritage. The name gained some popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century but remains relatively uncommon today, giving it a distinctive quality. Candis has a bright, positive sound that suggests candor and sweetness, partly due to its phonetic similarity to 'candid' and 'candy.' The name carries connotations of nobility and leadership from its historical roots while offering a fresh alternative to more common feminine names.
