Marice

Marice Origin and Meaning

The name Marice is a girl's name.

Marice is a feminine name of Latin origin, considered a variation of Maurice, ultimately derived from the Roman name Mauritius, meaning 'dark-skinned' or 'Moorish.' This elegant name has a melodic quality with its two syllables and soft ending. While Maurice is traditionally masculine, Marice emerged as its feminine counterpart, though it remains relatively uncommon. The name shares similarities with Marissa, Maris, and Marie, but with a distinctive feel of its own. Marice has never been among the most popular names in English-speaking countries, giving it a sense of uniqueness and individuality. The name carries a subtle vintage charm while maintaining contemporary appeal. Parents might choose Marice for its refined sound, meaningful etymology, and the balance it strikes between familiarity and rarity.
