Glenice
Glenice Origin and Meaning
Glenice is a feminine name of Welsh origin, believed to be a variant of the name Glenys, which derives from the Welsh elements 'glan' meaning 'clean, pure' and 'nes' meaning 'island.' Some sources alternatively suggest it combines elements meaning 'valley' and 'island.' Glenice had modest popularity in the English-speaking world, particularly in the United Kingdom, during the early to mid-20th century. It peaked in usage around the 1930s and 1940s but has since become quite rare. The name has a vintage charm characteristic of names from that era, with its soft consonants and pleasant rhythm. Glenice offers the attractive nickname option 'Glen' or 'Gleni.' For parents seeking a name with Celtic roots and a gentle, refined quality that isn't commonly heard today, Glenice presents a distinctive choice with historical depth.
