Bernicah is in Origin.

Bernicah is a modern English respelling of Bernice/Berenice, ultimately from Greek Berenikē, the Macedonian form of Pherenikē, built from phérein “to bring” and níkē “victory,” hence “bringer of victory.” The name traveled through Latin as Berenice and was sometimes conflated with Veronica in medieval tradition.

In antiquity Berenice was borne by Hellenistic queens of Egypt, and the New Testament mentions Bernice, sister of Herod Agrippa II, helping the form enter Christian name stocks. English Bernice rose in the late 1800s and peaked in the early 20th century; today, creative spellings like Bernicah add an -ah ending familiar from biblical names. Variants and relatives include Bernice, Berniece, Berenice, Berenike, and Veronica. Bernicah retains the victorious meaning while offering a distinctive, contemporary twist.
