History and Origin
Terence is a male given name, derived from the Latin name Terentius. The diminutive form is Terry. Spelling variants include Terrence, Terance, and Terrance.
English and Irish: from the Latin name Terentius, which is of uncertain origin. It was borne by the Roman playwright Marcus Terentius Afer (who was a former slave, and took his name from his master, Publius Terentius Lucanus), and later by various minor early Christian saints. As a modern given name it is a ‘learned’ back-formation from the supposed pet form Terry. It has become common in Ireland through being used as an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Toirdhealbhach ‘instigator’.
Variants: Terrance, Terrence.
