Matrice, derived from the Latin word 'matrix', meaning 'womb' or 'mother', is an uncommon yet distinct given name of French origin. It's a unisex name that has gained some traction in recent years, particularly among English-speaking populations. The name Matrice is believed to have emerged as a variant spelling of the more common French girl's name Marthe, which translates to 'Pearl'. However, Matrice can also be considered a standalone name, perhaps inspired by its meaning or its unique sound. In popular culture, it has been used in films like 'The Matrix' trilogy, though there's no evidence to suggest this influenced the name's use.
The name Matrice has seen a total of 87 births over the years with fluctuations in popularity between the decades. The most notable periods were from 1970 to 1973 and again from 1984 to 1988, where there were consistently several births each year. However, there was a significant dip in popularity during the late 80s and early 90s, with only five births recorded in total over those years.
