Meaning & origin

Its peak usage occurred in the year 2000, and the trajectory has remained stable since. The name's origin is unclear; it may be a creative spelling of Isis or an entirely invented name. With no notable historical or cultural associations, Icis offers a blank slate for parents seeking a distinctive and uncommon choice.
