Candise is a feminine name with Latin, Greek, and African connections, acting as a fun spin on Candace. Coming from the Latin words candidum and candere, this name can translate to “white,” “bright,” or “shining.” This name can celebrate baby as a bright, positive light in your life while also acting as their own shining light, guiding them to their goal. Candise may also come from the Meroitic title Kandake, which translates to “queen mother.” If you already know that you're going to be treating baby like royalty, Candise can serve as their crown.
