This name is actually derived from the Greek adjective γλυκερός (glykeros) meaning "sweet", which is of course related to the adjective γλυκύς (glykys) meaning "sweet (to the taste)". [noted -ed]

You should add the usage of "Late Greek" to this name, because the earliest known bearer was saint Glykeria from Heraclea (Thrace), who lived in the 2nd century AD:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Glyceria (in English; Glyceria is of course the latinized form of her name)
All known bearers of the masculine equivalent Glykerios (Glycerius in Latin) also lived in late Greek times, i.e. after the advent of Christianity. At least three of them are saints themselves. [noted -ed]

Hate this name. Sounds like a candy store name (named after its owner or his wife or daughter or mother). Bleh.

The sweetest taste I ever tried. That goes for a very special person I love because he's so sweet.

I'm guessing this name is pronounced glie-KEER-ee-uh (with the first syllable rhyming with "eye").

This name reminds me of the glycemic index they talk about on the NutriStystem commercials.
