Cloyce is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.
Recently, the name Cloyce has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Cloyce. That means that a boy named Cloyce is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Cloyce.
Is the name Cloyce a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Chosen by 35 parents, the name was given most frequently in 1916 – at that time, it ranked #971. It thus experienced its last peak in a world without internet and cell phones, even before the first personal computer was built. (Do you remember? Those were those big boxes that couldn't even begin to do what a simple robot vacuum cleaner can do today). Since Cloyce is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their baby boy this unusual name. So, if your name is Cloyce, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Cloyce was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
If you are reading this and you know someone with the name Cloyce born in 2022, please get in touch with us. Because we could not find any newborn boys with this name for the said year.

The first name Cloyce is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 159 Americans in total bear this name. And these 159 men are located in only five states: Arkansas, Iowa, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Cloyce and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Cloyce in relation to it’s male population is Arkansas. And yet even there, only one in 43,614 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Cloyce present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter C is a frequent initial letter for boys’ names. This is because 5.2% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D.
With six letters, the name Cloyce is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
With 5.2% of all boys' names that begin with a C, this first letter is thus much more common than the average of all letters. And which boys’ name beginning with C do you think is the most common in the US? The answer is... Charles.
If your name is Cloyce and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
