Joice is in Origin.
Joice is a streamlined spelling of Joyce, a name that entered Middle English from Old French Josse, ultimately from Breton Iodoc/Judoc, “lord, chief.” It was borne by a 7th-century Breton saint (St. Judoc/Josse), which spread the name across medieval Europe. In England it was primarily masculine through the Middle Ages before shifting to predominantly feminine use from the 19th century, aided by association with the English word joy.
This spelling appears in various records and sees modern prominence in Portuguese-speaking countries, especially Brazil. Related forms and nicknames include Joyce, Joyse, Joy, Jo, and the rarer masculine Josse/Joss. As a surname, Joyce is common in Ireland, which also helped sustain the given name. Meaning: “lord; chief,” with contemporary overtones of happiness. Joice offers a familiar sound with a lighter, distinctive look.
