Bence Family History
- Bence Name Meaning
- English: from a medieval personal name, Bence, Benz, derived from Old German Benzo. Possibly also an Americanized spelling of German Bentz or Benz. French: from Benzi, an Italian form of the Germanic personal name Bandizo. Hungarian (also found in Slovenia): from a short form of the old ecclesiastical name Bencenc, from Latin Vincentius. See also Vince. From the 16th century onward, Bence was confused with Bencse, a pet form of Benedek (see Benedict), and various derivatives of the personal name Benjámin (see Benjamin).
