English surname, variation of Massey

"hill"

Macy Origin and Meaning

The name Macy is a girl's name of English origin meaning "hill".

Singer Macy Gray has popularized this cute and upbeat choice—once solely associated with the department store. A modern replacement for Stacy and Tracy, Macy was most popular in the early 2000s when it nearly made the US Top 100.

Derived from an English surname, itself borrowed from several towns in France, Macy has been in use longer than you might think. Given to a small group of girls (and a smaller handful of boys) most years since the late 1800s, it might also be used as a variation on nickname Maisy.

It really began to climb the charts in the 90s when it appeared in the soap opera The Bold and The Beautiful and was boosted further by the aforementioned singer. Also used in the UK and the Netherlands, Macy has been joined in the charts by Macy, Maci, and Macie (the current favorite spelling), while Maesi, Maycee, and Macee are other forms.
