Meaning & origin
Junice is a rare given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1917, during a period when many novel feminine names were formed by adding the suffix -ice to existing names or words. Its peak year of use was 1920, during the early 1920s, after which it saw a steep decline. The name has never ranked among the top 1000 names and has a highly limited distribution, with no recorded top states. It remains a stable but obscure choice, rarely encountered in modern usage.
Junice is a rarely used given name, likely a 20th-century invention modeled on names like Janice or Eunice. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1917, with a modest peak in 1920. Its formation may blend the month name June with the popular -ice suffix, but no definitive origin has been established.
