A modern blend, likely meaning 'beloved' or 'grace'
Charniece is a modern American invention, likely created by combining the prefix 'Char-' (from Charlotte or Charles, meaning 'free man') with the suffix '-niece' or '-nice' (as in Bernice or Janice). It may also be influenced by the French word 'chérie', meaning 'darling' or 'beloved'.
