Baby Names:

Bryce

Meaning: Strength; freckled

Origin: Celtic; Welsh

Alternate spellings: Bry, Bri, Brice

Bryce has Celtic and Welsh origins and means, oddly enough, both “strength” and “freckled.” It’s also another name with dueling spellings. “Brice” was the first to appear on the U.S. charts in 1882. “Bryce” didn’t show up until 1918, but it has been consistently more popular ever since. Bryce is a good pick if you like the “y” trend with names like Brayden, Cayden, and Jayden, but also want a name that sounds a little less made up.
