Brice

Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Brice: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 1997.

A handsome, straightforward name with French roots, Brice is the English form of the Norman French Brice, itself derived from the Latin name Bricius, which possibly means "speckled" or "dappled," or may come from a Celtic word for "strength." The most famous historical bearer is Saint Brice of Tours, a fifth-century bishop and successor to Saint Martin, who is remembered for his fiery temper and subsequent repentance. While not directly tied to a specific place, the name shares its root with the French town of Brie, best known for its cheese. A notable variant is the Welsh Brys, and the name has seen modest but consistent use in Scotland since the 1970s.
