History & Origin

Shaneece respells Shanice, a modern American coinage generally read as the Sha- prefix over Denise or Janice. The name rode the wave of Sha- coinages in Black American naming and gained visibility through the singer Shanice; the doubled-e Shaneece is one of the phonetic spellings families used, and the parent's exact build is uncertain.

This spelling was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak around 1990. A girl named Shaneece then is in her thirties today.

Did you know? The parent name Shanice was carried into the spotlight by the R&B singer Shanice, whose late-eighties and nineties hits helped the whole spelling family spread.
