Berenice


Berenice is the Ancient Macedonian form of the Attic Greek name Φερενίκη Pherenikē, which means "bearer of victory". Berenika, priestess of Demeter in Lete ca. 350 BCE, is the oldest epigraphical evidence. The name also has the form Bernice. An additional Latin form of the same name is Veronica.
