Elice
Elice Origin and Meaning
Elice is a feminine name that serves as a variation of Alice or Elise, combining elements of both these classic names. With French and Germanic linguistic influences, Elice maintains the elegant, refined quality of its root names while offering a slightly different spelling. The name Alice comes from the Old French name Aalis, derived from the Germanic name Adalheidis, meaning 'noble type,' while Elise is a shortened form of Elizabeth, meaning 'pledged to God.' Elice emerged as parents sought familiar-sounding names with unique spellings. Though relatively uncommon, Elice appeals to those who appreciate traditional names but desire something slightly distinctive. The soft sound and classic feel give Elice a timeless quality while its less common spelling helps a child stand out.
