Doucie is English, Latin in Origin.

Doucie descends from Old French douce, meaning “sweet, gentle,” ultimately from Latin dulcis. The name traveled to Britain with the Normans, where Douce was used for girls in medieval England and Scotland; the affectionate -ie ending produced Doucie in Scots and northern English use. Its sense clusters around sweetness, mildness, and agreeable character.

Medieval bearers included noblewomen styled Douce (for example, Douce of Provence), and the form survives sporadically in parish records into the early modern period, enjoying a modest Victorian revival alongside related Dulcie. Today it remains rare and vintage in feel. Close variants include Douce (French), Dulcie (standard English), Dulce (Spanish/Portuguese), Dolce (Italian), and Dolca/Dolça (Catalan/Occitan); elaborations such as Dulcina and Dulcinea expand the theme. Nicknames range from Dou and Dousie to Dulcy. The surname Douce and Scots adjective “douce” share the same etymology.
