Avyce is English in Origin.
Avyce is a modern, ornamented spelling of medieval Avice/Avis, found in England after the Norman Conquest. It derives via Old French Avice from a continental Germanic hypocoristic built on the element Av-/Au-, used in shortened forms of names like Avo, Ava, and related compounds. The name appears in 12th-14th century rolls, tax lists, and monastic records, and persisted regionally into the Early Modern period.
Because Avice/Avis sounds like Latin avis 'bird', English speakers reinterpreted the name with that avian meaning; many modern sources gloss it as 'bird'. The original Germanic sense is uncertain (distinct from Hedwig/Hawise), likely a pet-form element rather than a lexical word. Variants and cognates include Avice, Avise, Avis, Avys, and the rarer Avyse; Ava and Aveline are related medieval relatives, while nicknames can include Avi or Vee.
