Reyce is Welsh in Origin.
Reyce is a modern unisex given name, most plausibly a creative respelling of the Welsh name Rhys (anglicized Reece/Reese), whose meaning is "ardor, enthusiasm, passion." The inserted y lends a contemporary look and sometimes invites association with Royce, yet Reyce is generally understood to inherit its sense from Rhys rather than from roy "king" or from Rose.
Rhys has deep roots in Wales and was borne by medieval leaders such as Rhys ap Gruffydd in the 12th century; its anglicized forms spread through Britain and later the Americas. Late-20th-century visibility of Reese/Reece in pop culture and sports helped spark rarer spellings like Reyce. The name remains uncommon but broadly usable for boys and girls in English-speaking countries. Variants and near-equivalents include Rhys, Reece, Reese, and Rees; sound-alikes sometimes cited are Royce and Royse. Nicknames Rey or Ray occur, but the core meaning stays "ardor/zeal."
