Meaning & origin
Shalice entered U.S. birth records in 1973, a modern coinage that reflects the creative naming trends of the late 20th century. Its usage peaked in 1992, the year it was most frequently given, though it never reached widespread popularity. The name has maintained a stable trajectory since its peak, remaining a rare but consistent choice. While no top states are recorded, Shalice appears to be a uniquely American invention, possibly inspired by the phonetic appeal of names like Shalise or the word 'chalice,' lending it a subtle elegance. Its rarity means that a child named Shalice is likely to be the only one in their peer group, offering a distinctive identity without straying into unfamiliar territory.
Shalice first appears in U.S. records in 1973. It is likely a modern invented name, possibly blending the popular prefix 'Sha-' (as in Shana, Shalonda) with the suffix '-lice' reminiscent of names like Felice or the word 'chalice', evoking a sense of beauty or preciousness. The name saw modest use in the 1970s through 1990s, peaking in 1992, but has since remained rare.
