Now here are the same names again, but this time around I’ve added definitions, variant forms/spellings, and links to popularity graphs.
Alice
The name Alice comes from the Germanic name Adalheidis, meaning “noble character” or “nobleness.”
Beatrice
The name Beatrice, the Italian form of the Latin name Beatrix, comes from the Latin word viator, meaning “traveler, voyager.”
Bernice + Berenice
The name Berenice comes from the ancient Greek name Pherenike, which is made up of elements meaning “to bring” and “victory.”
The name Bernice is a contracted form of Berenice.
Bernice is also sometimes spelled Burnice.
Brice + Bricen
The names Brice and Bricen may come from a Gaulish name meaning “speckled.”
Candice
The name Candice is a variant spelling of Candace, a Latinized form of kandake, the title used by ancient queens of the Kingdom of Kush (Ethiopia).
The name is also sometimes spelled Kandice.
Eunice
The name Eunice is made up of ancient Greek elements meaning “good” and “victory.”
Jaice + Jaiceon
The modern names Jaice and Jaiceon were inspired by the sound of the traditional name Jason.
Janice
The name Janice is an elaborated form of Jane, which is a feminine form of John, which ultimately comes from the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning “Yahweh is gracious.”
The name is also sometimes spelled Jannice, or Yanice (which reflects the Spanish pronunciation).
Justice
The word-name Justice, which is relatively gender-neutral, refers to the state of being fair and just. It ultimately comes from the Latin word iustus, meaning “just.”
Kaicen
Like Jaice and Jaiceon, Kaicen is a modern name inspired by the sound of names like Jason and Mason.
Maricela
The Spanish name Maricela represents a combination of the names María and Celia. It could also be considered a form of Marisela, which comes from Marisa, a combination of María and Luisa.
The name is also sometimes spelled Maricella.
Maurice
The name Maurice comes from the Latin name Maurus, meaning “Moorish.”
The name is also sometimes spelled Marice, Morice, and Mourice.
Millicent
The name Millicent is made up of two Germanic elements, the first of which may refer to the Amal dynasty (of the Goths), the second of which means “strong.”
The name is also sometimes spelled Milicent and Mellicent.
Price
The name Price comes from a surname that has several possible derivations, such as the Welsh patronymic ap Rhys (meaning “son of Rhys”) and the Middle English nickname Price (which referred to a highly valued person).
Ulices
The name Ulices is a variant spelling of the name Ulises, the Spanish form of Ulysses, which comes from the ancient Greek name Odysseus (of unknown derivation).
Vicente
The name Vicente is the Spanish form of Vincent, which comes from the Latin verb vincere, meaning “to conquer.”
The feminine form of the name is Vicenta. The name is also sometimes spelled Bicente (reflecting the Spanish pronunciation).
