The name reached its highest usage during the 1920s, peaking in 1926, but has since remained at very low levels. Its trajectory is characterized by stability, with no significant revival in recent decades. The name is likely a variant of Arthur or an inventive respelling, fitting a pattern of creative names popular in early 20th century America. No top states are recorded for Artice, reflecting its nationwide scarcity. Today, Artice remains a genuinely uncommon choice, appealing to those seeking an unusual yet traditional-sounding name.
