God is gracious
Shenise is a modern American invention, likely created by combining the prefix 'She-' with the name Denise. As Denise is the French feminine form of Dionysius, and the 'Shan' or 'Shen' prefix often draws from the Hebrew name Jane or Shaniqua, it is frequently associated with the meaning 'God is gracious'.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Shenise in 2025.
