Nancsi appears to be a unique phonetic spelling variant of Nancy. Traditional Nancy originated as a medieval diminutive of Ann, ultimately deriving from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor.'

The name Nancy itself peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1940s and 50s but has since declined, making any variant quite uncommon today.
