What is the meaning of the name Brice ?

The baby name Brice is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /braɪs/ (BRYS); French: /bʁis/.

Brice is Breton, Celtic in Origin.

Brice is a French and English given name derived from Latin Bricius, borne by the 5th‑century bishop Saint Brice of Tours. The name is of Celtic (Gaulish/Brythonic) origin; its exact sense is debated, with proposals linking it either to a root meaning “speckled, freckled” or to Irish brí “strength, vigor.”

Used across medieval France through the saint’s cult, Brice reached Britain via Norman influence and appears in Middle English records; it later persisted as the Scottish surname Bryce. The given name was revived in the 19th century and now sees steady use in France and the Anglophone world. Variants and cognates include Bryce (English/Scottish), Bricius (medieval Latin), Brizio (Italian), and Bricio (Spanish/Portuguese). Related surnames such as Bryson arose meaning “son of Bryce/Brice.”
