What is the meaning of the name Ice ?

The baby name Ice is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /aɪs/.

Ice is English in Origin.

Ice is a modern English word-name taken directly from the common noun, ultimately from Old English īs and Proto-Germanic *īsą (cf. German Eis, Dutch ijs, Swedish is). It carries imagery of clarity, composure, resilience, and the wintry element itself, making it a sleek, minimalist choice with a nature-name feel.

Use as a given name is rare but documented in English-speaking countries from the late 19th century onward, especially via feminine diminutives recorded as Icey, Icie, and Icy; contemporary unisex use has grown with the rise of cool, elemental names and pop-culture stage monikers like Ice-T and Ice Cube. As a surname, Ice also occurs in the U.S., often reflecting German Eis. Variants and related forms include Icey/Icie/Icy; Scandinavian Is (“ice”) appears occasionally as a parallel. Nickname potential is Icy or simply a crisp one-syllable standalone.
