Kyce is a modern American coinage without an established meaning. It is usually read as a spelling variant of Kace or Case, short forms of Casey, an Irish name meaning "vigilant" or "watchful", and some families connect it to the Arabic name Qais. The name is new on the charts: Kyce was given to only a handful of boys a year in the 2010s, then jumped from number 3940 in 2024 to number 1683 in 2025.
