Candiace is an uncommon female given name of American origin, derived from the Latin word 'candida', meaning 'white' or 'pure'. It gained some popularity during the late 20th century but remains relatively rare today. The name Candiace is often associated with elegance and purity due to its root meaning. In literature, there's a notable character named Candace in "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker, which may have contributed to the name's familiarity for some.
"The name Candiance was given to six baby girls born in 1986."
