Cirice is an Italian name of Latin origin, meaning "of the Lord" or "belonging to the Lord," originally used for clergy members assigned to churches dedicated to Saint Cyriacus. It was also borne by Saint Cirice, a companion of Saint Martial and patron saint of Limousin, France. In literature, Cirice appears as a sorceress in Ludovico Ariosto's "Orlando Furioso." Today, it is still used as a given name for girls, carrying a rich history rooted in ancient Christianity and literature.
