Wilce is an uncommon given name of English origin, derived from the surname Wilson. Historically, surnames were often adopted as given names when they became popular. The name Wilce likely evolved from the Old Norse personal name 'Willi' meaning 'resolute protection', combined with the Scottish surname element '-son'. This surname was typically patronymic, indicating that the bearer was the son of a person named William. Over time, Wilce has been used as an independent given name in its own right. Today, it remains quite rare and unique, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking a distinctive moniker for their child.
