Tracie is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive form of Tracy, which itself began as an English surname derived from place names in Normandy, France. The place names came from the Gallo-Roman personal name 'Thracius,' referring to someone from Thrace, an ancient region in southeast Europe. Tracie gained popularity in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s, reaching its peak in the early 1970s. The spelling variation with 'ie' instead of 'y' gives the name a softer, more feminine quality. Although its usage has declined since its heyday, Tracie maintains an approachable, friendly image and carries associations with characteristics like adaptability and resourcefulness.
