Meaning & origin
Maezie first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2005 and has been steadily rising since 2006. Its peak popularity occurred in 2023, with a rank of 5,238 and an incidence of 1 in 66,969 births. The name has not yet appeared in any state-level top lists, indicating it remains relatively rare nationwide. Maezie reflects the modern trend of adapting Scottish nicknames into creative spellings, similar to other names ending in the popular "-ie" sound. While still uncommon, its upward trajectory suggests growing appeal among parents seeking a fresh take on the familiar Maisie.
Maezie is a contemporary spelling variant of Maisie, which originated as a Scottish diminutive of Margaret. The name Margaret derives from the Greek margarites, meaning "pearl." Maisie became popular in the 19th century and has since inspired modern respellings like Maezie, reflecting a trend toward personalized spellings in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
