Paice is an English surname-turned-given name, generally regarded as a spelling variant of Pace/Pacey. Its deepest roots lie in Latin pax 'peace,' transmitted through medieval vernacular forms such as Anglo-Norman Pace and Italian Pace, used as a wish-name for tranquility and sometimes recorded around Easter. Some bearers also trace the surname to the Norman place Pacy (Eure), which fed the English forms Pacey and Paice; in southern England, Paice appears in parish records from the 16th–17th centuries. The meaning most often associated with Paice is 'peace.'
As a first name, Paice is modern and rare, used for all genders within the recent surname-as-given-name trend; the enduring visibility of the drummer Ian Paice keeps the spelling familiar. Close variants and cognates include Pace, Pacey, Paish, and Pax; related international parallels are Paz (Spanish) and Paix (French).
