History & Origin

Janeice is a decorative spelling of Janice, itself an early-twentieth-century extension of Jane with an -ice ending. Jane comes through the feminine of John from the Hebrew Yohanan, God is gracious. This spelling appears in United States records from around nineteen-twenty, peaked in the early nineteen-nineties, and stayed a rarity of a couple dozen girls a year.

Janice belongs to the mid-century, and its ornamental spellings like Janeice and Janiece feel of that time. The name inherits the warm meaning of Jane, and while Jane itself is fashionable again, this elaborated spelling has not revived.

Did you know? Janice took off after the 1911 novel Janice Meredith, and spellings like Janeice and Janis are its offshoots.
