Denice
Girl name · 12 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Denice: 12 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 1992.
Denice is a feminine name and a less common spelling variant of Denise, which itself derives from the French form of Dionysia, the female counterpart of Dionysius, ultimately from the Greek god Dionysos, meaning "follower of Dionysus." Notable bearers include Denice Donati, the Italian actress known for her role in the 1975 film "Salò," and Denice Cornejo, a Filipino singer and television host. While no major place connections exist, the name shares a root with various places named after Saint Dionysius, such as Saint-Denis in France. As an appealing alternative to the more traditional Denise, Denice offers a slightly modernised feel while retaining the name's classical, elegant associations—a choice that feels both familiar and distinctive for expectant parents.
