Jayce
Boy name · 108 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Jayce: 108 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 14 births in 2016.
Jayce is a modern invention, likely a variant of Jason or a masculine form of the name Joyce, which itself derives from the Breton personal name Iodoc, meaning "lord." While a relatively recent addition to Scottish naming charts, Jayce has gained popularity through fictional characters, most notably Jayce Talis, the brilliant inventor from the animated series *Arcane* and *League of Legends*. The name also shares sonic roots with the Roman god Janus, guardian of doorways and transitions. As a sleek, two-syllable choice, Jayce fits neatly alongside contemporary Scottish favourites like Aiden and Logan, offering parents a name that feels both modern and slightly edgy without being overly complicated.
