The English surname Vance means "high places", "above", and "from the marsh". This describes the area of Normandy from which the surname came to England (East Lothian, Scotland, actually) with the Norman Conquest of 1066 AD.

When used as a male given name, it carries the meaning of "brave", or "thresher". From the Dutch version, it's meaning is, "Dweller at the Windmill" or "son of Van".
