The Price Name and Meaning

Welsh: Anglicized form of Welsh ap Rhys ?son of Rhys? (see Reece). This is one of the  commonest of Welsh surnames. It has also been established in Ireland since the 14th  century, where it is sometimes a variant of Bryson. 
 English: the name is also found very early in parts of England far removed from Welsh  influence (e.g. Richard Prys, Essex 1320), and in such cases presumably derives from  Middle English, Old French pris ?price?, ?prize?, perhaps as a metonymic occupational  name for a fixer of prices. 
 Americanized spelling of Jewish Preuss or Preis.
