Trace Origin and Meaning
The name Trace is a boy's name meaning "of Thracia; to discover or track down; to copy".
Undoubtedly inspired by country singer Trace Adkins, Trace is part update on 20th century fave Tracy, and part modern word name. Derived from Tracy, it originated as a Roman name meaning "of Thracia" or as a short form of Teresa; as a word name, it's got something slightly arty about it, but outdoorsy too, along the lines of Hunter, Chase, and Wilder.
In the US Top 1000 since the 90s, its ranking has dipped up and down, but in recent years, it has been on the rise, given to around 400 boys each year.
Musician Trace Cyrus (son of Billy Ray and brother of Miley) might also have brought the name into the public eye.
