Meaning and history
Price is an English given name transferred from a Welsh surname. The surname derives from ap Rhys, meaning “son of Rhys.” Rhys is a Welsh masculine name traditionally associated with “ardour” or “enthusiasm,” though its deeper etymology is not completely certain. Price therefore preserves a patronymic surname history. Notable bearers include American baseball player Price Brookfield and American racing driver Price Cobb.
