Boyce Name Meaning
Scottish, northern Irish, and English: topographic name for
someone who lived by a wood, from Old French bois
‘wood’.English: patronymic from the Middle English nickname
boy ‘lad’, ‘servant’, or possibly from an Old English personal
name Boia, of uncertain origin. Examples such as Aluuinus Boi
(Domesday Book) and Ivo le Boye (Lincolnshire 1232) support the view
that it was a byname or even an occupational name; examples such as
Stephanus filius Boie (Northumbria 1202) suggest that it was in use as
a personal name in the Middle English period.Irish: Anglicized
form of Gaelic Ó Buadhaigh (see Bogue).Anglicized spelling of French Bois, cognate with 1.
