Meaning & origin
Jamice is a rare modern feminine name, first recorded in 1959 and appearing in the 1990s decade. It reached its peak year in 1995, though it remained below the threshold for a top 1000 ranking, reflecting a one-in-N estimate of zero for that year. The name's trajectory has been stable, with no recorded births in many years. It is likely a creative variant of James or Janice, fitting mid-century naming trends that favored the -ice suffix for girls. No top states registered significant usage, underscoring its niche status. Jamice exemplifies how parents sometimes form novel names from familiar roots, resulting in a distinctive but seldom-chosen option.
