Lucy-Mae

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Lucy-Mae: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2021.

Derived from the Latin 'lux', meaning 'light', Lucy has been a cherished name since medieval times, while Mae is an English variant of May, ultimately from the Roman goddess Maia, associated with growth and spring. The hyphenated Lucy-Mae combines these luminous and vernal qualities. Famous bearers include Lucille Ball, the beloved American comedian and actress, and Lucy Lawless, the New Zealand actress best known for playing Xena. The name Lucy appears in the title of The Beatles' song 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds', though the band insisted it was inspired by a drawing by John Lennon's son. A charming variant is Lucie-Mae, occasionally seen with a French inflection.
