What is the meaning of the name Candis ?

The baby name Candis is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkændɪs/ (KAN-dis).

Candis is English in Origin.

Candis is a modern English spelling variant of Candice, shaped by French usage and ultimately linked to Latin candidus, meaning “bright, shining, pure, sincere.” It also sits near the long-standing name Candace, the Greek and Latin rendering of Meroitic kandake, a royal title for Nubian/Ethiopian queens cited in the New Testament (Acts 8:27). While Candis inherits the luminous sense from candidus, it carries an echo of regal heritage through its association with Candace.

In the United States, Candis saw modest use in the mid-to-late 20th century alongside the wider popularity of Candice, boosted by cultural figures like Candice Bergen. Variants and related forms include Candice, Candace, Kandice, Kandace, and the rarer Candise; cognates by meaning include Candida (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese). Diminutives and nicknames include Candy, Candi, and Candie. Today, Candis offers a streamlined, vintage-leaning choice with both “pure” and queenly resonances.
