US Popularity:10961
Origin:Greek

Meaning:Rock, stone
Suggesting sharp wit and resilient nature, Pearce is an English masculine name that’s emblematic of the word “pierce.” In truth, Pearce boasts more earthy foundations still as a variation of the name Peter. Both stem from the Greek word petros, meaning "rock" and “stone,” which lend themselves to a caveat of impressive qualities. Stillness, groundedness, and immovable strength are just some of the attributes young Pearce can aspire to emulate—each of which they will certainly embody with great resolve.
