Meaning & origin
Angelice is a rare modern coinage first recorded in the United States in 1972, with a peak in usage occurring in 2001. Although it has never entered the top 1000, its trajectory has remained stable over the decades, suggesting a small but steady appeal among parents seeking a distinctive name. The name is formed by blending the familiar angelic root with a fashionable suffix, echoing the structure of longer-established names like Janice. With no recorded top states and very low frequency (1-in-N is unavailable due to scarcity), Angelice represents a highly individual choice. Its gentle sound and feminine ending align it with names like Angelina and Evangeline, while its rarity ensures a unique identity.
Angelice appears to be a modern inventive name, first recorded in the United States in 1972. It likely draws from the root name Angel (from Greek angelos, 'messenger') combined with the popular -ice ending seen in names like Janice and Bernice. As an invented name, it has no ancient or traditional etymology.
