Anonymous: what kind of weird-ass surname is pryce

:

Well for one, I’m not from an English-speaking country, so I’m bound to have a weird-sounding surname.

For two, the name Pryce actually did originate from English, so disregard my previous statement, I guess.

Based on the research I’ve done, it’s apparently an occupation surname, such as Cartman, Miller and Shepard, originating in the thirteenth century. A “pryce” (not sure on the Old-English spelling) would be the one who fixes the price of things at a market.

There’s also a thing about how in Welsh the p would stand for “son of” and the  -ryce would come from the name Rhys, which means “fiery warrior”, so it would indicate “a son of a fiery warrior”, but there’s no sure way to determine which origin fits my name.

I’ve done a lot of genealogy in my spare time.

son of fiery warrior eh?
