Lenyce is English in Origin.

Lenyce is a modern English given name, likely a creative respelling of Lenise/Lenice. Those forms arose as blend names combining the diminutive Leni with the popular -ice ending (as in Janice, Bernice, Denise). Leni itself is used as a short form of Helena (“light, torch”) and Magdalena (“from Magdala”), and in some traditions connects to Latin lenis, “gentle, mild.” Accordingly, Lenyce is most often interpreted as “light” or “gentle,” though its exact etymology is mixed.

Documented in English-speaking countries since the late 20th century, Lenyce remains rare and stylistically modern. Variant spellings include Lenise, Lenice, Lenyse, Leneice, Laniece, and Leneece; short forms and affectionate nicknames include Leni, Niece, and Niecy. Related names by influence or structure include Denise, Janice, Bernice, and Helena. The name’s flexible roots and sleek Y-insertion give it a contemporary feel while echoing classical meanings.
