Macee
About Macee
Macee is a feminine name that emerged as a modern spelling variation of Macy or Macey. These names ultimately derive from several possible origins: a French place name meaning 'weapon,' an English surname derived from the personal name Matthew, or potentially a diminutive of names containing 'Mac' or 'Mc' prefixes. Macee gained modest popularity in the United States during the early 2000s as parents sought fresh alternatives to traditional names. The double 'e' ending gives this short name a distinctively contemporary feel while maintaining its cheerful, upbeat sound. Macee projects a youthful, friendly image and benefits from easy pronunciation while offering a slightly distinctive spelling compared to the more common Macy version.
Pronounced MAY-see.
As of October 2026, Macee ranked #8661 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1992 in 2012.
