Etymology
Joyce derived from the Old French Masculine name Josse which derived from the Latin name Iudocus, the Latinized form of the Breton name Judoc, meaning "lord". The name became rare after the 14th century but later revived as a female name which derived from the Middle English joise, meaning "rejoice".
