Ardise is in Origin.

Ardise is a rare modern English feminine given name, most plausibly a respelling of Ardis/Ardyce. Those forms trace to the Old Norse–Icelandic Árdís, from ár “good year, prosperity” + dís “goddess; protective female spirit,” yielding meanings such as “spirit of good fortune” or “prosperity goddess.” In English usage it can also echo Ardith, a modern revival associated with Hebrew elements and interpreted as “flowering field,” which has helped shape the name’s gentle, pastoral feel.

In the United States and Canada, Ardis and its offshoots enjoyed modest popularity from the 1920s through the 1940s during waves of Scandinavian influence, then declined; Ardise has remained uncommon, lending it a distinctive vintage-meets-modern profile. Variants include Ardis, Ardyce, Ardice, Ardys, Ardisse; the Icelandic form is Árdís. Nicknames range from Ardi/Ardy to Dicey for Ardyce-style spellings. Related names: Ardith, Arliss, and Norse-based Disa. Overall meaning cluster centers on luck, prosperity, and feminine guardianship.
