Kandise is English in Origin.
Kandise is a modern English respelling of Candice/Candace. Candace derives from Greek Kandake, the dynastic title borne by queens of ancient Kush (Nubia), cited in the New Testament (Acts 8:27). In later European naming, Candice became conflated with Latin candidus/candida, "bright, white, pure," so the name is often interpreted as "royal woman; queen mother" or "pure, shining." Kandise preserves the same sense while adopting a contemporary K-initial favored in many 20th-century American names.
In usage, the biblical Candace appeared in English from the early modern period; Candice rose sharply in the United States and Canada in the 1960s-80s through media visibility. Kandise emerged during that era as a creative, rarer variant and remains uncommon today. Usual pronunciation is KAN-diss. Related forms include Kandice, Kandace, Candice, Candace, Candyce, Kandis, and Candis.
