Gladyse is a distinctive and vintage female given name of French origin. It is derived from the French word 'gladys,' which means 'happy.' This name was popular in the early 20th century but has since become less common, making it a unique choice for parents looking to honor tradition while embracing rarity.
"Gladyse was a popular name among parents in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with a total of 61 babies named Gladyse born between 1898 and 1925."
