Origin: Irish

Meaning: Brave, warlike, fierce

Daring and dauntless in definition and design, Trace is a gender-neutral name of English and Irish origin, meaning “brave.” A tempting twist on Treacy, which is tied to the Irish name Ó Treasaigh, meaning “warlike” or “fierce,” Trace serves as a one-syllable symbol of baby’s bold, brazen character and might just have the force your little one needs for when the fight calls. And while more well-known names like Tracey and Tracy have taken up territories of their own, nothing could come rival to your rising star Trace.
