Pierce is the medieval English form of Peter — from the Greek Petros (rock). Pierce Brosnan (born 1953) — male; Irish actor; played James Bond in GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World Is Not Enough (1999), and Die Another Day (2002); the four Bond films grossed $1.6 billion combined; later Mamma Mia! (2008) and The Greatest (2009). Bush). Pearce is the alternate British spelling. Pierce County, Washington — major county containing Tacoma.
Pierce does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Pierce reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
