Alicemae, an uncommon and unique given name, is believed to have originated from a combination of traditional names with a creative twist. The name starts with 'Alice', a classic feminine name derived from the Germanic 'Adelheidis', meaning 'noble'. It is further enhanced by 'Ma(e)', which could be a reference to 'Marie' or 'Maria', both of which are forms of the Latin 'Mara', possibly meaning 'bitter' or 'rebellious'. However, in this context, it might be more fitting to interpret it as a nod towards the sea ('mae' being an archaic spelling for 'may'), adding a touch of maritime allure to the name. Thus, Alicemae stands out with its unique blend of classic and creative elements, making it distinctive yet approachable.
The name Alicemae experienced a significant increase in popularity between the years 1915 and 1924, with a peak of eight births recorded in both 1923 and 1924. However, it declined thereafter, with only five or six births per year from 1925 onwards, except for a spike to eight births in 1934. Overall, there were fifty-eight babies named Alicemae during this period.
