Elice is English in Origin.

Elice is a modern feminine given name, most often an alternative spelling of Elise and, in some families, of Alice. Elise is the French short form of Elisabeth (Hebrew Elisheva), meaning “my God is an oath” or “pledged to God”; Alice descends from Old French Aalis, from the Germanic Adalheidis, “noble kind/type.” Blending these lines, Elice can carry resonances of both devotion and nobility.

The name surfaces in English-language records from the late nineteenth century and has stayed uncommon yet recognizable, buoyed by the wider popularity of Elise - cemented in culture by Beethoven’s Für Elise - and by modern tastes for streamlined spellings. Variants and related forms include Elise, Élise, Elyse, Elize, Lise, Eliza; Alice, Alise, Alyce; and the rarer Ellice. Common short forms are Eli, Lise, and Lissy. Pronunciations vary: EE-liss, ee-LEES, or, with French influence, eh-LEEZ.
