Jace for girls#11316 US
Jace is a modern feminine name that has gained popularity primarily as a masculine name but has crossed gender boundaries in recent years. Originally a shortened form of Jason (meaning 'healer' in Greek), Jace developed as an independent name in the late 20th century. With its sleek, single-syllable sound, Jace has appealed to parents seeking contemporary names with a strong yet simple quality. While still more common for boys, its use for girls represents the growing trend of gender-neutral naming. The name's brevity gives it a modern edge, while its connection to the traditional Jason provides historical depth. Jace has a confident, energetic quality regardless of gender.
Pronounced JAYS.
As of October 2026, Jace ranked #114 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #66 in 2013, Nameberry popularity #248.
