Name Meaning

English (Shropshire and Staffordshire; also Norfolk, Montgomeryshire, and Lancashire): variant of Breese . The name migrated from Shropshire into Montgomeryshire. Some dictionaries derive it from the Welsh patronymic ab Rhys, but this is phonetically improbable, as ab would develop to ap before the voiceless r of Rhys, hence Preece . Compare Breece .
