What Does the Name Tyce Mean?
Tyce is a rare English given name, usually treated as a variant spelling of Tice. The meaning is uncertain because the surname Tice has more than one proposed origin. One derivation traces it to the medieval English personal name Tice, a pet form of Matthew; the traditional meaning of Matthew is 'gift of God.' Another derivation traces it to the Old French word tison, meaning 'firebrand,' used as a nickname. These explanations do not agree, and the evidence does not clearly favor one over the other. A modern gloss of 'quiet' or 'peaceful' is sometimes attached to Tyce, but it is not established by the older surname forms.
Tyce Name History & Origins
The surname Tice is found in English records, and Tyce is a later spelling variant of it. The surname probably arose in one of two ways. If it comes from the medieval personal name Tice, it belongs with surnames formed from pet forms of common Christian names; Matthew was common in medieval England because of the apostle and evangelist. If it comes from Old French tison, it began as a nickname and passed into family use. The two paths are difficult to separate because the same spelling could represent either one. As a given name, Tyce is used in English-speaking countries. Its use follows the wider pattern of English surnames becoming given names.
