Carice is a female given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name Curius, which is believed to be of Etruscan origin. The name Curius was borne by several prominent Roman families and may have been derived from the Etruscan word 'curis', meaning 'cauldron'. Carice is a rare and unique name that has gained some popularity in recent years due to its use in various forms of media, such as the television series "Game of Thrones," where it was borne by one of the main characters. However, despite its increasing recognition, Carice remains a relatively uncommon name and may therefore be considered an excellent choice for parents looking for something distinctive for their daughter.
The name Carice experienced fluctuations in popularity over time, with a notable gap of thirty-four years between the birth years of 1976 and 2009, where it did not appear among newborns. Despite this inconsistency, there was a steady five births each year during its peak periods in 1970, 1975, 1976, 1981, and 2009, culminating in a total of twenty-five babies named Carice across these years.
