ArchivesOrigin of the name Donice
My grandfather's name was Donice Alton McLain.
He was born in around 1912 in the US. His family originated in North Carolina of Scots-Irish descent. Although the family was of Scots-Irish descent, his father had the highly unusual Swedish name of Adolphus.
He also had a brother named Nealous (which was, we assume, short for Cornelius).
Does anyone have any information on the name Donice? It was pronounced with the long "O" sound as in: Dough and the i was pronounced with the long "E" sound as in: niece. The name sounded like Dough-niece with the emphasis on niece.
The only other Donice I've ever seen was a black female, born approximately 1975 and she pronounced her name with a short "o" as in the name "Donald" and the remainder of the name as "iss" as in the word "hiss". So it was Don-ISS.
Any info on this name?
