About Maisey
Maisey is a charming feminine name that originated as a pet form of Margaret or Maisie. With Scottish and English roots, the name derives from the French word 'marguerite' meaning 'pearl' or 'daisy flower.' Maisey has a sweet, vintage quality that fits with the trend of reviving nickname-style names as formal given names. After remaining relatively obscure for decades, Maisey began rising in popularity during the early 2000s in the UK, Australia, and the US, part of the wave of vintage names making a comeback. The spelling variation with '-ey' rather than '-ie' gives it a slightly more contemporary feel while retaining its nostalgic charm. Parents are drawn to its friendly, approachable sound and cheerful associations.
Pronounced MAY-zee.
As of October 2026, Maisey ranked #1938 in US births in 2025 SSA.
