Candis Origin and Meaning

The name Candis is a girl's name.

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.'
