Ornice is Greek in Origin.

Ornice is an extremely rare given name with a likely blend of influences. Its first element echoes Greek ornis, “bird,” best known from ornithology, while its -nice ending recalls name families like Bernice and Eunice that descend from Greek nike, “victory.” Some also hear a Latin undertone from ornare/ornatus, “to adorn, equipped,” giving the name an “ornate” sheen. Pronounced OR-nees or OR-niss, it skews feminine in contemporary use but is easily unisex.

Sporadic appearances in English-language records suggest late 20th- and early 21st‑century adoption, typically as a modern coinage rather than a traditional revival. Meanings offered by bearers range from “bird; little bird” to “adorned” or the poetic “victory like a bird in flight.” Variants and near-forms include Ornise, Ornisse, Ornyce, Ornicea, Ornis; nicknames Ori, Nisi, Nica.
