Meaning & History

English and Irish: from the Breton personal name Iodoc, a diminutive of iudh ‘lord’, introduced by the Normans in the form Josse. Iodoc was the name of a Breton prince and saint, the brother of Iudicael (see Jewell), whose fame helped to spread the name through France and western Europe and, after the Norman Conquest, England as well. The name was occasionally borne also by women in the Middle Ages, but was predominantly a male name, by contrast with the present usage.

FOREBEARS The name Joyce was introduced to Ireland in the 12th century by Normans from Wales. A certain Thomas de Joise married the daughter of the prince of Thomond. It has been Gaelicized as Seoighe and is found mainly in Connemara.
