Piercey
Piercey Origin and Meaning
Piercey is primarily an English surname that sometimes appears as a masculine given name. It derives from the Norman name Percy, which originally came from a place name in Normandy (Perci). The name has aristocratic associations in British history through the powerful Percy family of Northumberland. As a first name, Piercey remains quite rare, representing the trend of using surnames as given names. The '-ey' ending softens the name somewhat while maintaining its masculine character. Piercey might also be viewed as a variant or elaboration of the more common name Pierce, which comes from the French 'Pierre' meaning 'rock' or 'stone.' The name has an appealing blend of strength and refinement, with both historical depth and contemporary style.
