Jace
Meaning of Jace
Jace is a modern English given name, most often explained as a short form of Jason. Jason comes from the Greek Iason and is usually translated as healer. Some references describe Jace instead as a recent coinage rather than a traditional name, so its origin is not entirely settled. It is pronounced JAYS, a one-syllable name rhyming with case, in both American and British English.
The best-known namesake is probably Jace Norman, the American actor who played Henry Hart in the Nickelodeon series Henry Danger from 2014 to 2020. Jace Everett is an American singer-songwriter who recorded Bad Things, the theme for the HBO series True Blood, and co-wrote the country hit Your Man. These are the name's most prominent public associations.
In the United States, Jace rose sharply from 310th in 2000 to a peak of 66th in 2013. After that peak it declined gradually through the 2010s and early 2020s. In 2025 it ranked 114th, with 3,083 boys given the name. That makes it a contemporary choice that is less common than at its high point but still solidly within the top 120.
