What is the meaning of the name Ganice ?

The baby name Ganice is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced GAN-iss (IPA: /ˈɡænɪs/).

Ganice is English in Origin.

Ganice is a rare modern feminine given name whose shape suggests the French-influenced ending -ice. It is most plausibly an altered spelling of Janice (a diminutive of Jane, from Hebrew Yochanan, "God is gracious"), or a creative blend with Anise/Annis (ultimately from Greek hagnos, "pure"). The name also surfaces in Francophone and Caribbean communities, where Janice and Anise are common, which may have encouraged this hybrid. A minority of bearers connect it to Turkish/Arabic Gani, "bountiful," though that source is etymologically separate.

Documented sporadically since the late 20th century in North America, the Caribbean, and parts of Africa, Ganice fits contemporary tastes for familiar sounds with distinctive spelling. Variants and related forms include Ganisse, Ganyce, Ganiece, Janice, Janis, Anise, and Denise; nicknames include Gani, Nicy/Nisi, and Niecey. Depending on the chosen lineage, meanings offered are "God is gracious," "pure," or "bountiful."
