Lance is a masculine name of Germanic origin, meaning “land” or “territory.” It is derived from the Old French name Lanzo, which is a short form of various names beginning with land. The French word lance, meaning “l-a-n-c-e” (as in the weapon) and derived from the Latin word lancea, has been associated with the name. Perhaps this is why courageous warriors have always preferred it.
