Meaning & origin
Maycie is a modern feminine name that emerged in the early 1990s as a creative respelling of the surname Macy. First recorded in 1992, it enjoyed a modest rise in popularity, peaking at rank 3577 in 2010 before gradually declining. By 2025, the name had fallen in use, with approximately 1 in 38,268 newborn girls given the name, reflecting a broader trend away from unique spellings since 2011. Top states of use include New York and Texas, suggesting a spread across diverse regions. Maycie fits the pattern of late-20th-century invented names that combine a familiar root with a feminine suffix, and its appeal lies in its phonetic simplicity and contemporary feel.
Maycie is a modern respelling of the name Macy. Macy originates as an English surname, possibly derived from the Old French personal name Macé, a form of Matthew, or from a place name meaning "marsh island" in Old English. The spelling with "ie" became fashionable for girls in the late 20th century, following the popularity of similar names like Hailey and Kaycie.
