Charice is Greek in Origin.

Charice is a modern English feminine name, usually a respelling of Charisse/Cherise. Its chief root is Greek Charis, meaning “grace, kindness, favor,” mediated by Charissa and the Hollywood surname Charisse. Some also link it to French cherie “darling” or cerise “cherry,” yielding folk meanings such as “beloved” or “cherry.” Most baby-name sources, however, gloss Charice primarily as “grace.”

It rose in mid-to-late 20th-century use across English-speaking communities, influenced by dancer-actress Cyd Charisse and, later, brief worldwide attention from Filipino singer Charice (now Jake Zyrus). The name remains uncommon but recognizable. Variants and related forms include Charis, Charissa, Charisse, Cherise, Charise, Sharice, Sharis, and Carice; possible nicknames are Char, Risa, and Reese. Meaning-rich yet contemporary, Charice sits near Clarice and Cherise in style.
