Maggiemae

Maggiemae is a compound feminine name combining two traditional nicknames: Maggie (from Margaret) and Mae (a variant of May). Margaret derives from Greek 'margarites' meaning 'pearl,' while Mae often relates to the month of May, symbolizing springtime and renewal. Maggiemae has a distinctly Southern American charm and evokes a folksy, down-to-earth quality. This double-name pattern (like Mary Jane or Betty Lou) was particularly popular in the American South during the early to mid-20th century. Though rare as a formal given name, Maggiemae offers vintage appeal with its sweet, nostalgic sound and combines traditional elements into something more distinctive.

Pronounced MAG-ee-may.

As of October 2026, Maggiemae ranked #16360 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #12934 in 2023.
