What Price Means

Derived from the Welsh 'ap Rhys', meaning 'son of Rhys'. Rhys means 'ardor'. It later became a surname and eventually a given name.

The Story of Price

Generations ago, in a small Welsh village, a father named his son 'son of ardor,' and that fire has been passed down to you.

Price originates from the Welsh patronymic 'ap Rhys,' meaning 'son of Rhys.' The name Rhys itself carries the meaning of 'ardor' or 'passion.' Over time, 'ap Rhys' evolved into the surname Price, and eventually, it was adopted as a given name, traveling from its Celtic roots to find a place in English-speaking countries.

When you whisper 'Price' to your son, you might feel the echo of that original 'ardor.' It's a name that feels grounded and yet carries an inner warmth. You can picture yourself writing it on a hospital bracelet, a name that speaks of a determined spirit ready to embrace life's challenges with passion.
