Meaning & origin
Charnice is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1973. It followed a pattern of blending the initial sound of Char- (as in Charlene or Charity) with the popular suffix -ice, seen in names like Janice and Bernice. The name reached its peak usage in 1994, but it never entered the national top 1000 rankings. By the 2020s, the name remained rare, with fewer than five annual births. Its trajectory has been stable, and it was most common in the 1990s, though it has not experienced a revival. Charnice is almost exclusively given to girls.
Charnice is likely a modern American coinage, blending sounds from names like Char(ity) or Char(lene) with the fashionable suffix -ice (as in Janice or Bernice). It first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1973 and saw modest use in the 1990s.
