Candace is a charming and distinctive given name of Greek origin, derived from the feminine form of 'Kandas,' which means "pure" or "virginal." It first gained prominence in the English-speaking world through its use in the Bible as the name of Candace, queen of Ethiopia, who sent her eunuch to Jerusalem (Acts 8:27). The name has since evolved to become a popular choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their daughters.
"The name Candance experienced a peak popularity between 1963 and 1970, with over 40 births each year during this period. However, its usage significantly declined from the late 1980s onwards, with less than 20 births per year since 1990."
