A female given name, often used as a proper noun for a person.
From Greek 'Berenikē,' derived from 'phero' (to bring) and 'nike' (victory), meaning 'bringer of victory.' The name was popular among Macedonian and Egyptian royalty, particularly famous through Queen Berenice II of Egypt.
Queen Berenice II of Egypt had a lock of her hair placed in the sky by her husband, and astronomers named an entire constellation 'Coma Berenices' (Berenice's Hair) after it—talk about the ultimate romantic gesture!
