Felice is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 700 additional births since 1910.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Felice performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 753 births during that ten-year window. Across the 14 decades of recorded activity, Felice shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New York, which accounts for 1,084 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and New Jersey. In total, SSA state-level files list Felice in 13 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Felice in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 4,188 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
