Felice is in Origin.
Felice is the Italian form of the Latin cognomen Felix, from felix (genitive felicis), meaning “happy, fortunate,” with an older sense of “fertile/fruitful.” In Italy it has been primarily masculine, paralleling English Felix, though Felice has also been used for women in English and Romance-speaking contexts; its standard feminine cognates are Felicia (Italian/English) and the French Félicie.
The name gained currency through the popularity of numerous early Christian saints and popes named Felix, inspiring Italian place-names like San Felice and many medieval baptisms. Notable bearers include librettist Felice Romani and photographer Felice Beato. Related forms and variants include Felix/Feliks (Germanic/Slavic), Felicitas (Latin, German), Felicita (Italian), Felicity (English), Feliciano/Feliciana (Romance elaborations), and diminutives such as Felicino/Felicetta. The core meaning universally evokes joy, good fortune, and blessing.
