Ardice is in Origin.
Ardice is a rare English-language given name, used mostly for girls, that appears to be a modern variant blending the lines of Ardis and Ardith. Ardis is often linked to Irish and Scottish Gaelic ard “high, lofty,” while Ardith is commonly explained as from Hebrew Ardith/Ardit, “blooming or plowed field.” As a result, Ardice carries connotations of height and fruitful fields, with a gently vintage sound.
Documented chiefly in North American records from the 1910s through the mid-20th century, Ardice fits the era’s fondness for -ice/-yce endings alongside Bernice and Clarice. Spelling relatives and diminutives include Ardyce (the most frequent form), Ardis, Ardith, Ardys, and pet forms Ardi/Ardy. Usage today is very uncommon, giving Ardice an uncommon-classic profile. Parents who choose it can reasonably interpret the name’s meaning as “lofty” or “blooming field,” depending on the preferred root.
