Nansey Origin and Meaning

The name Nansey is a girl's name.

Nansey is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Nancy. While Nancy originated as a medieval diminutive of Anne, which comes from the Hebrew Hannah meaning 'grace,' Nansey represents a less common orthographic variation. This alternative spelling gives the traditional name a distinctive touch while maintaining its familiar pronunciation. Nansey is quite rare compared to the standard Nancy, which was extremely popular in the mid-20th century. The name has an English feel but with a unique twist. The uncommon spelling might appeal to parents seeking a traditional name with a slightly different presentation. Nansey carries the same warm, friendly associations as Nancy but with an individualized spelling.
