What Does the Name Maycie Mean?
Maycie is a recent English spelling of a girl's name usually written Macy, Macie, or Maisie, and its meaning depends on which of those older names is intended. The English surname Macy, from which the given name Macy comes, is of Norman origin. It is generally traced to the Old French personal name Maci, a short form of the Latin name Maccius, and a related explanation connects it with the place name Massy in Normandy, which was named after that same Roman name. A separate and less certain suggestion derives the surname from Old French mace, a mace or staff of office. The Scottish name Maisie is unrelated to Macy: it is a pet form of Margaret, from the Greek margarites, meaning "pearl." Because the spelling Maycie does not by itself indicate which of these names it follows, its etymological meaning is uncertain.
Maycie Name History & Origins
Macy came into English use as a surname in the centuries after the Norman Conquest, and medieval English records show forms such as Maci and Macy as surnames and occasionally as a man's given name. The surname was later adopted as a girl's name in the United States. Maisie, a familiar Scottish form of Margaret, was long established in Britain; Rudyard Kipling used it for the central female character in his novel The Light That Failed (1890). The spelling Maycie is a newer reshaping of Macy or Macie, replacing the final -y or -ie with the -ie ending familiar from Maisie and using ay in the first syllable. It has no separate etymology or history of its own beyond that respelling.
