Candiss Origin and Meaning

The name Candiss is a girl's name.

Candiss is a feminine name that serves as a variant spelling of Candace or Candice. These names ultimately derive from the ancient title "Kandake," used for queens or royal women in the Kingdom of Kush (now part of Sudan). The unique spelling with the double 's' gives the name a distinctive appearance while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. Candiss has a sweet, gentle sound that feels both classic and slightly unconventional. This variation emerged primarily in the mid-20th century when creative spellings of traditional names became more popular. While less common than the standard Candice/Candace, Candiss offers a fresh take on a name with truly ancient royal origins.
