TYSSListen

Tyce (pronounced TYSS) is a modern English name — more of a recent coinage than one with old, documented roots. You might come across the claim that it's a variant of Tyson meaning 'firebrand' or 'son of a god named Ty,' but that story doesn't check out, so it's better to think of Tyce as standing on its own rather than as a nickname for something else.
