Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Maizy: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2014.

From a Scottish perspective, Maizy is a modern, affectionate variant of Maisie, itself a diminutive of Margaret, ultimately derived from the Greek *margarites* meaning "pearl". While not as historically widespread as Maisie, the name gained a playful, fresh feel in late 20th-century Scotland. Famous bearers are scarce for this exact spelling, though actress Maisie Williams, known for *Game of Thrones*, has boosted the wider name's profile. There are no direct place connections, but the root name Margaret has inspired countless towns and landmarks worldwide. A notable variant, Maizie, shares the same sunny, informal charm, and the name consistently appears on Scottish birth registers as a beloved, down-to-earth choice that feels both classic and contemporary.
