Meaning & origin
Masey is a modern American invention, first recorded in U.S. birth data in 1990. Its peak year of use was 2001, but the name has been falling in popularity since the early 2000s; the trajectory shows a clear decline from 2000 onward. The name has never reached a high enough rank to be listed in the top 1,000 names for any year, and no top state data is available, indicating its scattered, low-frequency use. Masey likely originated as a respelling of the more common Macy or an adaptation of Maisie, reflecting a pattern of phonetic respellings that personalize familiar sounds.
Masey is a modern English name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1990. It is likely a respelling of Macy, which itself derives from an English surname from Old French Massy, or a variant of Maisie, a Scottish diminutive of Margaret. The name remains rare and its exact derivation is unclear.
