About the name Bryce

Bryce is a Scottish form of Brice, from the Latin name Bricius. Bricius was probably of Gaulish origin, and it is sometimes explained as ‘speckled’, though the meaning is uncertain. Saint Brice of Tours, a fifth-century bishop who succeeded Saint Martin, made the name known in medieval Europe, and it was used in Scotland as both a surname and a given name. Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah takes its name from the Mormon settler Ebenezer Bryce.
