Felice

Meaning of Felice

Felice is a luminous name rooted in the Latin word felix, meaning “happy” or “fortunate,” and has been cherished for centuries across Italy and France. In Italian (feh-LEE-cheh) it dances off the tongue like a warm summer breeze; in French (feh-LEES) it settles softly like morning dew; and in English (FEL-is) it retains that bright, optimistic spark—so even the grumpiest of Mondays feels a touch brighter at the sound of Felice. With every whispered syllable, it seems to sprinkle a little extra sunshine into a room, an affectionate reminder that a life lived in joy and gratitude is the richest gift of all. Though its vintage charm might conjure images of sunlit piazzas or candlelit bistros, it fits just as naturally in an Anglo-American nursery, blending cultural flair with timeless grace. Choosing Felice for a daughter feels like setting a hopeful wish in motion, a promise that wherever life leads, happiness and good fortune will always follow.
