Ellice Origin and Meaning

The name Ellice is a girl's name.

Ellice is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It most commonly functions as a variant spelling of Ellis or Alice, with roots in either Old German (meaning 'noble kind') or Ancient Greek (meaning 'truth'). This spelling gives the name a delicate, refined quality while maintaining familiar sounds. Ellice also appears as a surname and place name, notably for the Ellice Islands (now part of Tuvalu). The name has never been widely popular but maintains a consistent, if minimal, presence in English-speaking countries. Its subtle elegance and slight uniqueness appeal to parents seeking a name that feels both classic and somewhat distinctive. The double 'l' creates a visual interest, while the soft ending sound gives it a gentle femininity that works well across age groups.
