Vance

The name Vance is a boy's name of English origin meaning "someone who lives near marshland". A short but sophisticated, long-neglected name you might want to consider. The name is currently getting a boost from two musicians: the Northern Irish Foy Vance and the Australian Vance Joy, born James Keogh. Vance Joseph is a head coach in the NFL. Chynna Phillips and William Baldwin used it for their son in 2002.
