Meaning and background
The story behind Tyce
Tyce is recorded as an English surname and referred to Tice in the *Dictionary of Family Names in Britain and Ireland*. Related Tice itself can be a variant of several English surnames, with separate German and Dutch adaptations also found. The spelling alone therefore cannot confirm one old meaning. Its one-syllable sound is straightforward, but a personal-name derivation should not be guessed from a similar-sounding modern word.
- Origin
- English surname spelling referred to Tice, a name with several English and adapted continental variants. Source
