Garvice is an uncommon given name of English origin, derived from Old French 'garce', meaning 'prostitute'. The name was used as a term of abuse and was likely intended to signify that the bearer was of ill repute. However, it is important to note that its usage has been largely superseded by other names with more positive connotations.
The name Garvice experienced a modest yet consistent popularity between 1913 and 1917, with an average of six births per year during this period. There was a five-year gap after 1917 before the name resurfaced again in 1922 with another five births, bringing the total number of babies named Garvice to 33 over these years.
