proper noun Terrance · Terrence · Terance
- A male given name from Latin, popular in the U.K. in the mid-twentieth century. "Very likely the ragged scion of one of those Irish gentry, who has taken naturally to 'the road'. He should be at school - though I warrant me his knowledge of Terence will not extend beyond his own name," said Lord Henry Somerset, aid-de-camp to the Lord Lieutenant.
