Denice

Denice is an English feminine name functioning as a spelling variant of Denise, the French feminine form of Denis. Denis derives from the Latin Dionysius, which traces back to the Greek Dionysios, meaning belonging to Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and festivity. The name became widespread in medieval Europe through the veneration of Saint Denis, the third-century martyr and patron saint of France. Related forms include Denise, Denis, Dionysia, and Dionysus.
