Laniece
Meaning of Laniece
Laniece is an Anglo-American feminine given name of modern formation, emerging in the mid-20th century as a morphological blend of the productive American prefix “La-” and the classical root Denise (the feminine form of the Greek Dionysios, meaning “divine”). Its phonological rendering in English, /ləˈniːs/, conforms to standard stress-timed patterns, thus ensuring both clarity and ease of articulation across diverse dialects. United States Social Security Administration records trace Laniece’s first significant registrations to the early 1960s, with its highest recorded popularity in 1975 at rank 739; since then it has receded gradually into the lower echelons of the top 1,000 and, by 2015–2016, registered fewer than ten annual occurrences. Through its dual inheritance—classical etymology and contemporary onomastic innovation—Laniece exemplifies a naming practice that balances historical resonance with individual distinction.
