Origin
Meaning and history of Jeice
The given name Jeice is believed to have originated from the ancient Etruscan civilization, which flourished in what is now modern-day Italy between the 8th and 3rd centuries BCE. The name is thought to be derived from the Etruscan word "jeicere," which roughly translates to "to conquer" or "to overcome."
In Etruscan mythology, Jeice was the name of a minor deity associated with victory and triumph. This deity was often invoked by warriors and soldiers before going into battle, as they sought divine assistance in overcoming their enemies.
The earliest recorded instance of the name Jeice can be found in an Etruscan funerary inscription dating back to the 5th century BCE. The inscription was discovered in the ancient city of Vulci and mentions a wealthy merchant named Jeice who was revered for his business acumen and success in trade.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who bore the name Jeice. One of the most famous was Jeice of Carthage (c. 210 BCE - 149 BCE), a renowned military commander who led the Carthaginian forces against the Roman Republic during the Third Punic War.
Another significant figure was Jeice the Monk (c. 980 CE - 1045 CE), a Benedictine scholar and calligrapher who is credited with preserving and copying numerous ancient manuscripts during the Middle Ages.
In the 16th century, Jeice Montaldo (1520 - 1587) was an Italian architect and engineer who designed several iconic structures in his native city of Genoa, including the Palazzo Doria-Tursi and the Church of San Giorgio.
During the Renaissance period, Jeice Tintoretto (1518 - 1594) was a celebrated Venetian painter known for his distinctive style and mastery of chiaroscuro. His works, such as the "Last Supper" and "Paradise," adorn the walls of many churches and galleries in Italy.
More recently, Jeice Zamora (1905 - 1976) was a prominent Mexican artist and muralist associated with the Mexican Muralism movement of the early 20th century. His vibrant and politically charged murals can be found in various public buildings throughout Mexico City.

FAQ
Jeice: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jeice?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 14 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jeice going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 24,482,453 US residents.
Is Jeice a common name?
We classify Jeice as "Very Rare". It ranks above 34% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 14 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jeice most popular?
The single biggest year for Jeice was 2016, when 7 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jeice is about 9 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Jeice in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jeice a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jeice in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Jeice still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jeice in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Jeice can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
