Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Maicey: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2012.

Maicey is a modern Scottish variant of Maisie, itself a beloved diminutive of Margaret, which traces back through French to the Greek *margarites*, meaning "pearl." This sparkling name became popular in Scotland thanks to the traditional use of Maisie as a pet form. While no famous bearers spell it exactly this way, actress Maisie Williams brought the root name global fame as Arya Stark in *Game of Thrones*. Unlike some Scottish names, Maicey has no direct place-name connections, but it shares its etymological root with the gemstone pearl. The spelling with a 'y' instead of 'ie' gives it a fresh, modern feel while keeping its Scottish heritage very much intact—a stylish choice that feels both familiar and distinctive.
