A female or male given name: from a French word meaning “joy.”.
The name Joyce is a contemporary given-name used for females and rarely used by males.

The name became rare after the 14th century, but later revived as a female given-name, which derived from the Middle English joise meaning "rejoice".
Proper name, earlier Josse, Goce, etc., and originally given to both men and women. Of Celtic origin. Joycean, in reference to the fiction of Irish writer James Joyce (1882-1941) is attested from 1927.
Experienced in battle. Form of joise: to rejoice.
