Origin

The name Tyce has roots in English tradition, deriving as a variation of the surname 'Tice,' which itself originates from medieval personal names or occupational names. There is no specific ancient text mentioning Tyce, but it has been used in English-speaking countries since the medieval period, and has gained recognition in Australian contexts through immigrant families and local usage.
