Joyce Name Meaning
English and Irish: from the Breton personal name Iodoc, a
diminutive of iudh ‘lord’, introduced by the Normans in the
form Josse. Iodoc was the name of a Breton prince and
saint, the brother of Iudicael (see Jewell), whose fame
helped to spread the name through France and western Europe and, after
the Norman Conquest, England as well. The name was occasionally borne
also by women in the Middle Ages, but was predominantly a male name,
by contrast with the present usage.
