Annice

Annice is an English given name functioning as a variant spelling of Annis, itself a medieval English vernacular form of Agnes. Agnes derives from the Greek name Hagnē, rooted in the adjective hagnos, meaning pure or chaste. The name gained widespread use in medieval Europe largely through the veneration of Saint Agnes of Rome, a third-century martyr. Related forms include Annis, Annys, and Agnes.
