Jayce is a modern respelling of Jace, which in turn is a crisp short form of Jason, from the Greek Iason, meaning "healer." The extra y tips the whole name toward contemporary American taste: streamlined, phonetic, and ready for a birth announcement in hand-lettered script. Jayce entered the U.S. charts in the early 2000s, climbed steadily on the back of shows like The Originals and League of Legends, and currently sits in the top 170s. One compact syllable, a soft j, a clean sibilant finish. It feels sporty and friendly, with a touch of the video-game hero about it.
