Troyce is a modern American given name, probably created by blending Troy with the stylish -oyce ending familiar from Royce and Joyce. Troy may derive from the Irish surname Ó Troighthigh (“foot-soldier”), which became Troy in English, or from the legendary Anatolian city celebrated in classical literature. Royce, by contrast, originates as a surname from Roy (Old French roi, “king”) or from the medieval female name Royse (a form of Rose). As a coinage, Troyce carries martial and regal overtones.

Recorded in U.S. usage since the mid-20th century, Troyce has remained rare and primarily masculine, though occasionally used unisex. Variant spellings and near-forms include Troice, Troyse, Troye, Troy, Royce, and Roice; nicknames often default to Troy or Roy. With its tailored sound and layered roots, the name is often interpreted to suggest “royal warrior” or “of Troy,” while not tied to a single traditional etymology.
