Horace, also spelled Horice, is an ancient Roman masculine given name derived from the Etruscan name Horatius. This name was borne by several notable figures throughout history, most famously the Roman lyric poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus, known simply as Horace to posterity. The name has a strong, traditional feel and has been used in various cultures and languages across centuries. It is often associated with qualities such as strength, dignity, and wisdom.
"Horice experienced peak birth years between 1920 and 1927, with nine or more births annually. Post-war years saw a decline, dropping to five births in 1928, but rebounded to eight in 1930. Births then stabilized around six per year until the late 1940s."
