Meaning & origin
Mayce is a modern respelling of Macy or Macey, a name that entered U.S. records in 1990. It peaked in 2001 and has been on a downward trajectory since 2002, reflecting a broader trend away from invented respellings. The name did not rank in the top 1000 in any year, and its one-in-N ratio is too small to calculate, indicating its rarity. It has no strong regional ties in the U.S. and remains a niche choice for parents seeking a phonetic variation of the more established Macy.
