History & Origin
Price comes from English and means 'son of Rhys', a patronymic that began as a Welsh-rooted surname before being used as a given name. The meaning ties it back to the personal name Rhys and the line of fathers it once marked. As a first name it keeps that crisp, single-syllable surname feel.
Its short, sharp sound sets it apart from longer given names. The spelling Pryce is a closely related form of the same name. No specific public bearer is listed here.
