Canice, Canicio and Canizio are Italian equivalents of the English name "Kenneth." The masculine proper name originates as the Gaelic personal name Cainnech("handsome") or Cináed ("fire"), with the former serving as the basis for the naming of San Canice (or Canicio or Canizio) di Kilkenny ("Saint Kenneth of Kilkenny," 515?-600). The respective pronunciations will be "ka-NEE-tchey," "ka-NEE-tcho" and "ka-NEE-tsyo" in Pisan Italian.
