Pryce is a spelling of the Welsh surname Price, from ap Rhys, "son of Rhys", and Rhys itself means "ardor" or "enthusiasm". The y-spelling is the older Welsh form, and in the United States it also sidesteps the association with the everyday word price. Pryce peaked at number 1,974 in 2020 and ranks number 2,707 among boys in 2025, with 48 births.
