Hi Joannicea,

---

Somewhat late but...

---

Your name reminds me immediately of Boadicea, a Celtic Queen who fought against the Romans. It's likely that your name is Joan or Joann with the -icea ending. I don't know what it means though. I wouldn't think it's Joan with a -nicea ending.

This:

will tell you more than you want about Boadicea and maybe (slim) there will be a snippet explaining her name.

---

Boadicea is a latinized version of the Celtic name Boudicca.

---

I haven't got Acrobat installed yet (new system) and so haven't read this:
http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/institutes/sassi/spns/INDEX2I.pdf
but it is an Index of Celtic Elements and may explain what -icca means.

:-)

---

My best guess is that your name is a blend of Joan and Janice, with an A stuck on behind to make it obviously feminine.

---

The Jan in Janice is of course the same name as Joan ...

Your name is possibly french JOANnice from the patron saint of France, saint JOAN of Arc. NICEA sound french to my ears, try to find a French-English dictionary and search on the word NICEA you maybe find out what it means. You can allways add on my hotmail constantopolis@hotmail or you can post on this "generall message board" if you have any questions or if you wont more infomation about your name i'll be happy to try to find out more about it and try to find out if the word Nicea is french and what it means. There is a website of dictionarys of diffrent langauges it contains over 10,000 terms in french-english, it is is very good website.
Go to www.dictionaries.travlang.com you maybe find out if the word Nicea is french, Latin, Spanish or maybe a word of other language. Try to find on JOAN maybe it isint 100 procent french name maybe it is spanish or protuguese word. Good Luck.
