Benoyce is English in Origin.

Benoyce is a rare modern English given name that appears to be an elaboration blending the Ben- family with the -oyce ending familiar from Joyce and Boyce. Its deepest etymological thread points to Old French Benoist/Benoit, from Latin Benedictus "blessed," a source of many Ben- names. In parallel, it echoes South Asian Benoy/Binoy, ultimately from Sanskrit vinaya "humility, modesty," giving the name a cross-cultural set of meanings: blessed and modest.

Usage is extremely sparse in records before the late 20th century, suggesting recent coinage or revival. The name works as gender-neutral in contemporary practice. Possible spellings and related forms include Benoice, Benoyse, Benoy, Binoy, Benoit/Benoît, Benoist, and the feminine Benoite/Benoîte. Short forms and nicknames may be Ben, Noy, or Noyce. Overall, Benoyce offers a distinctive, modern silhouette anchored by venerable roots and positive virtues.
