Lacey-Mae

Girl name · 16 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Lacey-Mae: 16 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 2012.

Lacey-Mae is a charming double-barrelled name combining two distinct origins. Lacey stems from an English surname derived from the Norman French de Laci, ultimately from the Gaulish personal name Lascius, and was brought to Britain after the Conquest. Its modern association with delicate lace fabric adds a soft, feminine touch. Mae is a variant of May, from the Roman goddess Maia, or a short form of Mary. A notable bearer is Lacey-Mae Fair, a young Scottish singer who gained fame on *The X Factor* in 2008. While no direct place connections exist, Lacey appears in place names like Lacey Green in England. This combination surged in popularity in Scotland during the 2000s, reflecting a broader trend for hyphenated names blending classic and modern elements.
