Meaning & origin
Montrice is a rare modern American name that first appears in Social Security records in 1959. Its peak year was 1976, but it has never ranked among the top 1000 names. The trajectory suggests a stable but very low level of use, with only a handful of births per year. The name's origins are uncertain, but it appears to be a creative combination of popular name elements from the mid-20th century, such as the Mont- prefix and the -rice suffix. Montrice is used for both genders, though slightly more common for girls. No top states are recorded for this name, reflecting its dispersed but extremely low frequency.
Montrice is a modern American coinage that first appeared in the late 1950s. The name likely blends the popular prefix Mont- (seen in names like Montague or Montgomery) with the fashionable suffix -rice (as in Maurice or Price). No traditional etymological root or meaning is attested.
