What Does the Name Burnice Mean?
Burnice is an English spelling variant of Bernice, whose established meaning is "bringer of victory." The name goes back to Greek Berenikē (Βερενίκη), usually explained as a form of Pherenikē, from pherein "to bring" and nikē "victory"; the compound literally means "victory-bringing," which lies behind the customary gloss. The first element of Berenikē is sometimes connected with a Macedonian pronunciation of the Greek word, but the details of that sound change are not fully certain. Burnice inherits the meaning through Bernice; the u spelling does not point to a different root.
Burnice Name History & Origins
Greek Berenikē passed into Latin as Berenice, and the English form Bernice developed from that Latin name. The name was borne by several ancient Macedonian and Hellenistic royal women, including Berenice I of Egypt, and it appears in the New Testament for Bernice, the sister of Herod Agrippa II. Burnice is an English spelling variant of Bernice; the change from Ber- to Bur- is an English respelling of the first vowel, not a separate derivation from Greek. In English use, Burnice belongs to the same family of spellings as Bernice and has no independent ancient history.
