Myrtice

Myrtice is an American name that emerged as a variant of Myrtle. The name Myrtle itself comes from the English word for the myrtle tree, which is derived from the Greek word 'myrtos'. The myrtle tree is an evergreen shrub known for its fragrant white flowers and berries, and it has symbolic significance in various cultures, often associated with love, beauty, and immortality.

While Myrtle gained popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Myrtice appeared as a less common, perhaps more distinctive, alternative. It shares the same botanical roots and the gentle, natural imagery associated with its parent name. Its usage has been primarily concentrated in the United States.
