Meaning & origin
Earsie is a vanishingly rare name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1902, its peak year and the only year it achieved any measurable usage. With an estimated one-in-1.5 million incidence among recent births, the name has never appeared in the national top 1000 rankings. Its trajectory has been flat for over a century, making it one of the most obscure names in the database. The name appears to be an American respelling or variant of the equally rare Ersie, possibly derived from Scottish surnames like Erskine. Earsie has no recorded top states, highlighting its scattered usage across the country.
Earsie is a rare given name of uncertain derivation. It may be a variant of Ersie, which itself is a diminutive form of names such as Erskine or a pet form of names ending in '-ersie'. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1902 but has remained extremely uncommon.
