Boy name · 269 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Jace: 269 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 27 births in 2017.
Jace is a modern name with several possible origins—most commonly, it’s thought to be a shortened form of Jason, which comes from the Greek name Iason, meaning “healer.” Alternatively, it may derive from the invented name Jacen, popularised by the Star Wars character Jacen Solo. In popular culture, Jace is also the name of a powerful Planeswalker in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game (Jace Beleren), and actor Jace Norman, star of the Nickelodeon series Henry Danger, has helped keep the name in the spotlight. While there are no major places named Jace, the name’s clean, sharp sound has made it a favourite among parents seeking a fresh, contemporary choice. Its rise in Scotland mirrors a broader English-speaking trend, blending simplicity with a touch of fantasy.
