Cerice is in Origin.

Cerice is a modern Anglicized respelling of French Cerise, literally “cherry,” from Old French cerise < Latin cerasum < Greek kerasos. As with the color name cerise, it evokes a vivid cherry‑red hue; by extension the fruit’s symbolism of sweetness and renewal often informs the name’s connotations. Pronounced seh-REESE (also suh-REECE), Cerice keeps the sleek French cadence while softening the spelling for English readers. The name gained occasional use in the mid‑to‑late 20th century across the UK and North America, paralleling fashions for color and fruit names and for French-leaning chic. It is sometimes blended or confused with Cherise/Charise, linked to French chéri/chérie “dear,” though that is a separate etymology. Forms and near-forms include Cerise/Cérise, Cherise, Charise, Sherise; nicknames Cece, Reese, Seri. Cerice remains rare in France itself, where cerise is primarily the common noun.
