Janiece Origin and Meaning

The name Janiece is a girl's name.

Janiece is a feminine name that developed as a variant of Janice, which itself derives from Jane, ultimately coming from the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning "God is gracious." The distinctive spelling with the double 'e' ending gives this name a softer, more elaborate feel than its original form. Janiece experienced modest popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, though it never reached the heights of its parent name Janice. It has a melodic quality when pronounced and represents a more uncommon choice while maintaining familiar sounds. Parents might choose Janiece for its blend of traditional roots and distinctive presentation.
