Meaning & origin
Sharice is a modern feminine name that first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1965. It reached its peak popularity in 1993, but its trajectory has been falling since 1992, reflecting a broader shift away from invented names with the -ice suffix. Today, Sharice is exceptionally rare, with too few births to compute a per-name rank. The name exemplifies the creative naming trends of the late 20th century, where familiar sounds and suffixes were combined to produce melodic, distinctive names. Though lacking a deep historical etymology, Sharice carries a contemporary and stylish feel.
Sharice emerged in the mid-20th century, first recorded in the United States in 1965. It likely follows the pattern of names like Clarice and Marice, blending the fashionable syllable 'sha-' (from names like Sharon or Sherry) with the -ice ending. It has no known roots in any ancient language or tradition.
