      Shaunice is a feminine given name that derives from the names Sean or Shawn, which are of Irish origin and mean God is gracious. The name Shaunice is primarily found in English-speaking countries and reflects a blend of traditional and contemporary naming conventions, often appealing to parents seeking a unique yet culturally significant name for their daughters.

      The name Shaunice began to appear in the latter half of the 20th century as a variation of Sean and Shawn, which have deeper roots in Irish heritage. This period saw a rise in the popularity of names that incorporate the Sha prefix, often reflecting cultural diversity and the influence of various naming trends. The fusion of the established name Sean and the more contemporary suffix has created a modern definition while maintaining a connection to its Gaelic origins.
