Meaning & origin
Mayco is a rare modern American name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1981. It has never entered the top 1,000 names, and its usage remains sporadic; in 2025 it ranked 9,714th, given to roughly 1 in every 244,011 newborn boys. The name reached its peak popularity in 2022, but even then it was far from common. Its trajectory is stable, neither surging nor declining sharply. The etymology is uncertain -- it may be a creative respelling of Marco or a blend of May with a fashionable suffix. No top states are associated with the name, reflecting its widespread but very thin distribution. Mayco remains a distinctive choice for parents seeking a name that is both modern and uncommon.
