Mesdelices

Meaning

The excerpted sources gloss Mesdelices as French for “my delight” or “my delights.” One source also treats it as a longer form behind the shortened French pet name Mède, and links it with the general delight-name family represented by Delicia/Delicia-like names. The etymology is therefore more expressive than literal: a name of affection and pleasure rather than a standard dictionary given name.

Origin

Fun fact

Yonge notes that in its own country it could be shortened to Mède, making Mesdelices a rather elegant source for a nickname.
