History & Origin
Cherice is one spelling of a small family that includes Cherise and Charisse, names drawing on the French chérie, meaning 'darling' or 'cherished', with an echo of the Greek charis, 'grace'. The elegant dancer Cyd Charisse helped fix the sound in mid-century American ears.
Cherice was a rare, pretty alternative to the more common Cherise, drawing a few dozen girls a year and cresting around 1975 before fading in the nineties. A Cherice from that peak is in her late forties now, a Gen-X name with a graceful, dated charm.
