What is the meaning of the name Aldyce ?

Aldyce is English in Origin.

Aldyce likely stems from the Old Norse/Icelandic feminine name Aldís, built from aðal “noble” and dís “lady; goddess-like spirit,” giving the sense “noble woman” or “noble lady.” Through Scandinavian influence in medieval England, Aldís was Anglicized as Aldis; the spelling Aldyce appears to be an English elaboration shaped by names ending in -ice/-yce (as in Alice or Clarice). Aldis also became a hereditary surname in parts of East Anglia, which helped keep the form visible even as given-name use waned.

Today Aldyce is a rare, vintage-leaning option with clear Germanic-Norse roots and a courtly meaning. Variants and cognates include Aldís (Icelandic), Aldis, Aldys, Aldice, Alda, and the related masculine forms Aldo and Aldous. Possible nicknames are Al, Ally, or Dice. Note: in Latvia, Aldis is a masculine name with separate development, though it overlaps in form.
