Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Shaniece: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2010.
The name Shaniece is a modern American invention from the late 20th century, blending the popular prefix "Sha-" (drawn from names like Shannon or Shawna) with the "-n(ic)e" ending from names such as Denise, creating a melodic, contemporary sound with no traditional meaning. One notable bearer is Shaniece Hairston, an American actress and model known for her role in the TV series *For Better or Worse*. The name gained wider recognition through singer Shanice (born Shanice Lorraine Wilson-Knox), whose 1991 hit "I Love Your Smile" made the similar spelling a household name. While no specific places are named after Shaniece, the name shares its creative construction style with other 1990s coinages like Shaniqua and Taneisha. Variants such as Shanice remain more common, particularly in the United States and Scotland, where the name saw modest use during the 1990s.
