History & Origin
Shenique is a coinage that joins a She- or Sha- prefix with the -nique ending familiar from the French Monique and Dominique. It is invented rather than inherited, but built from a real and recognizable sound pattern.
It was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year around its peak in the early nineteen-nineties, and it faded within a decade. A girl named Shenique then is in her thirties today.
