Leroyce is an uncommon given name of unknown origin, believed to have been created rather than derived from existing names. It gained some popularity in the mid-20th century but has since become quite rare, appearing on only a handful of birth records each year. The name Leroyce does not appear to have any specific meaning or historical significance, nor is it associated with any particular culture or ethnicity. It seems to be purely an invention for aesthetic purposes, perhaps intended as a unique and attention-grabbing moniker. Despite its rarity, Leroyce has been carried by notable individuals such as American jazz musician Leroy Jenkins, who was born with the given name Leroyce but went by his middle name professionally.
"Leroyce was quite popular in 1931, with seven babies bearing that name."
