Meaning:Land; Spear
Lance may resemble the lovestruck Lancelot, but this masculine name holds a far more immovable resilience in its German roots, meaning “land.” Focused and determined, Lance's sharp inflection befits its association with the medieval weapon—the lance, lending French influence to the name. Universally synonymous with valiant knights, the pole-like spear is a stunning example of precision and expert design, forged to withstand rapid impact where others may bend and break.
