Lacey-May

Girl name · 5 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Lacey-May: 5 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 2016.

Lacey-May is a modern, hyphenated name that blends the English surname-turned-first-name Lacey with the classic May. Lacey derives from the Old French "Lacie" or "Lassy," meaning "from Lassy," a place in Normandy, while May comes from the month, symbolising spring and renewal, or from the Latin "Maius," sacred to the goddess Maia. Among its famous bearers, Lacey Chabert is an American actress known for her role in "Mean Girls," though for Scottish parents, the name may also evoke Laceys as a common surname across the UK. Unlike Lacey, the variant May has a strong historical presence in Scotland as a standalone name or middle name. This double-barrelled choice feels both delicate and sturdy, a floral flourish on a fashionable root.
