History and Origin
Berenice is a feminine given name of Greek origin in its English variant. It is the Macedonian form of the Greek φερενίκη, of φέρω (to carry) and νίκη (victory), so it means "the one who bears the victory", "bearer of victory". Etymologically, it is equivalent to Veronica and Nikephoros.
English and Italian: from the Greek personal name Berenikē, which seems to have originated in the royal house of Macedon. It is almost certainly a Macedonian dialectal form of the Greek name Pherenīkē ‘victory bringer’. It was introduced to the Egyptian royal house by the widow of one of Alexander the Great's officers, who married Ptolemy I. It was also borne by an early Christian woman mentioned in Acts 25, for which reason it was felt to be acceptable by the Puritans in the 17th century. It has now fallen out of fashion again.
Variant: Bernice (the form used in the Authorized Version).
Cognates: Scottish Gaelic: Bearnas. French: Bérénice.
