What is the meaning of the name Collice ?

The baby name Collice is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced COL-lis; IPA: /ˈkɒlɪs/ (UK) or /ˈkɑlɪs/ (US).

Collice is English, Scottish in Origin.

Collice is a very rare given name in English, likely formed from the short form Coll/Cole (from Nicholas) with the French-influenced feminine ending -ice, in the pattern of Clarice and Bernice. On that derivation it shares the Greek meaning of Nicholas: “victory of the people” (nike + laos). Some instances may also reflect a variant of the surname Collis or the spelling Colice/Calice, linking either to Latin collis “hill” or to Old French calice “chalice”; the name’s etymology is therefore mixed and context-dependent.

Recorded sporadically in American and Caribbean sources from the late 19th to mid-20th century, Collice has never been widely used and remains outside mainstream baby-name charts. It appears for both sexes but skews feminine in modern use. Variant spellings include Colice, Collise, Colliece, and Collis (more common as a male name/surname). Related choices and diminutives include Cole, Collie, Colin/Collin, and Nicholas/Nicole.
