Mazie
Girl name · 16 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Mazie: 16 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2022.
Mazie is a charming Scottish and English diminutive of the longer name Margaret, itself derived from the Greek "margaritēs" meaning "pearl." This sweet, vintage-feeling name has been used in Scotland as an affectionate pet form for centuries, often given as an independent first name rather than just a nickname. One notable bearer was the American actress Mazie Hirono—though she is better known as a US Senator for Hawaii. In literature, the name appears in John Steinbeck's *Cannery Row*. The variant spelling Maisie is more common in Scotland today, but Mazie retains a particularly retro, breezy appeal that feels both familiar and fresh.
