ArchivesFind original pronunciation
i would like to know the original pronunciation of the name shanice, i say mine like the name Janice, but others pronounce thiers very differently. I am female and of Carribean background but i was named after an sfrican american. I have however heard of white people with that name, could it's origins really be gaelic???

Shanice could be an elaboration of Shan, an Anglicised form of Sian, which is indeed the Welsh form of Jeanne. Welsh and Gaelic aren't the same language--though they could be related; however I'm blanking on whether they definitely are or not, sorry--but many people lump Irish, Scottish, and Welsh together out of ignorance/confusion.

As for your name's pronunciation, as it's a made up elaboration, I would say it could be pronounced in any way your parents preferred. SHAN-is (like Janice) is as perfectly valid as, say, shan-EES or something like that imo.
