Myrtice Origin and Meaning
The name Myrtice is a girl's name.
Myrtice is a feminine name derived from the myrtle plant, which has been symbolically associated with love, fertility, and peace since ancient times. The name has Greek origins, as the myrtle was sacred to the goddess Aphrodite. Myrtice enjoyed modest popularity in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries but has since become quite rare. It peaked around the 1910s-1920s and is now considered a vintage name. The unusual combination of nature-inspired meaning and antique charm gives Myrtice a distinctive character. The name has a delicate yet sturdy feel, with its crisp consonants and feminine ending. For modern parents, Myrtice offers a unique alternative to more common floral names while maintaining classical roots.
