About Royce
It may seem like an indecisive cross between Roy and Reece, but Royce was fairly popular in the 1930s and '40s. It has seen a resurgence in recent years, helped by some well-known athlete bearers. The Latin pop singer Prince Royce also has brought renown to the name. And some aspirational parents may see the name as a way to associate with the Rolls-Royce brand.
Pronounced ROYS.
As of October 2026, Royce ranked #500 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #283 in 1935, Nameberry popularity #671.
