Reece

Reece is an English name that has its roots in the Norman French word 'reice', meaning 'ardent' or 'enthusiastic'. It is also believed to be derived from the Old English word 'rice', meaning 'wealthy' or 'bountiful'.

Originally a surname, Reece gained popularity as a first name in the late 20th century, particularly in the United States and United Kingdom. It is often chosen for its strong, yet pleasant sound and gender-neutral nature.

While the name Reece is predominantly used for boys, it has also been given to girls in recent years, adding to its unisex appeal. For girls, the name Reece may be seen as a more modern and unique alternative to traditional names like Rebecca or Rachel.
