Mayci

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Mayci: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2011.

With its soft, modern feel, Mayci is a contemporary variant of the classic surname Macy, which traces back to the Old French name Macey, itself derived from the Latin Mathius, meaning "gift of God." The spelling Mayci adds a feminine, lyrical twist that appeals to parents looking for a name that feels both fresh and familiar. While the name itself has few historical bearers, the traditional form Macy is famously linked to soul singer Macy Gray, whose raspy voice and hits like “I Try” made the name memorable. The surname also gave rise to the iconic Macy's department stores, founded by Rowland Hussey Macy in 1858. As a Scottish choice, Mayci joins a growing trend of creatively spelled names—others include Maycee and Maci—offering a gentle, optimistic start for a baby girl.
