Berenice
Ancient royal name
Berenice is a female given name of Greek origin, a variant of the more common Bernice.
It appears in ancient history—several queens of Egypt bore the name—and occasionally in literature.
The name remains uncommon in English-speaking countries but surfaces in formal or classical contexts: Berenice was named after her great-grandmother.
