Originating from England, the name Reyce is of Norman derivation and stems from the Germanic elements 'Ragin' meaning 'advice' or 'counsel', combined with 'helm', translating to 'helmet'. Thus, Reyce literally means 'counsel helmet', symbolizing protection through wisdom. The name was introduced into England after the Norman Conquest in 1066 and has since remained a rare yet distinctive choice.
Reyce is not a popular choice for names, with only 6 babies named Reyce in both 2006 and 2009 combined, totaling just 12 births over those years.
