Etymology
Joyce is a name that comes from an old Breton name Iodoc, which meant 'lord' and later became the Old French name Josse. A helpful way to remember Joyce is to think of the English word 'joy', but that is only because they look similar and is not the real origin. So, Joyce started as a name meaning 'lord' and today it is used as both a family name and a first name, for example the writer James Joyce.
