as a First Name
Originally a nickname, now fairly commonly used as a given name, especially in the United States. It represents the colloquial term ace, referring to someone who is particularly good at something. This meaning derives, via the notion of being ‘number one’, from the word ace denoting a single item (as for example the lowest (and highest) value in a suit of playing cards). This probably derives from Latin as, the name of a coin of low value.
