What Does The Name Brice Mean?

The name Bryce means courageous and powerful

The name Brice is believed to be derived from the French but is believed to have originated from the Latin name Bricius or Brictius. It is pronounced as "bryce" and is believed to mean sublime or speckled. The name Brice has four different variations including Brizio, Bryse, Bricio and Bryce. A similar name to Brice is "brych" in Welsh and means, "dotted". In Italian the name is written as Brizio. The name Brice is also found as a family name and was very famous as a Scottish family name. There are various famous people called Brice who have graced the pages of history including Bricius of Tours a saint from Rome, Bishop of Moray, famous in his lifetime called Bricius de Douglas and yet another Brice Herbert Goldsborough who was a aviator from America during the early 1900s.

Brice is probably a Gaulish name (from one of the Celtic tribes who eventually formed the French nation.) It may derive from an old Celtic word meaning "speckled," though this is not certain. Brice can also be found in Latin forms: Britius and Bricius.

The name was well known to early Chrisians because of the fame of St Brice of Touraine in France (370-444.) A pupil and follower of St Martin of Tours, Brice became famous for having been a difficult youth, who later repented and devoted his life to good works.

The name was rare until recently, but like many Celtic names is now enjoying a revival.
