Meaning & origin

Troyce is a rare masculine name that first appeared in United States birth records in 1921, during a period when inventive forms of traditional names were gaining traction. Its peak year of usage was 1931, placing its highest visibility in the early 1930s. Since then, the name has followed a stable trajectory, never achieving a rank in the top 1,000 nor a measurable one-in-N frequency. Troyce has not seen a revival in recent decades, and it has not been recorded with strong ties to any particular state. It remains an uncommon choice, likely a modern invention rather than a name with deep historical roots.

Troyce first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1921, peaking in popularity during the 1930s. It is likely a modern coinage, possibly inspired by the given name Troy (originally a surname derived from the ancient city of Troy) or influenced by fashionable -ce endings. The name has remained in sporadic use without achieving widespread popularity.
