Jeanice is English in Origin.
Jeanice is a modern English feminine name that likely blends Jean/Jeanne with the fashionable -ice ending seen in Janice, Bernice, and Clarice. Through Jean/Jeanne and Jane, it ultimately traces back to Hebrew Yochanan (Yahweh is gracious), the same root as John. The meaning commonly attached to Jeanice is therefore God is gracious, conveying favor or divine gift.
Documented chiefly in the United States from the early to mid-20th century, Jeanice reflects the era’s taste for tailored, softly sibilant -ice names and inventive spellings. Usage has remained uncommon, lending it a distinctive, vintage-modern feel today. Close variants and spellings include Jeannice, Jeanise, Jenice, and Janiece; related forms from the same root include Janice, Janis, Jeanne, Jean, Jane, and Joan, with nicknames such as Jeanie or Janie.
