What is the meaning of the name Jacie ?

Jacie is English in Origin.

Jacie is a modern English given name, pronounced JAY-see, most common for girls in the United States. It arose in the late 20th century as a phonetic spelling of Jacey/Jacy and as a feminine form of Jace, a short form of Jason. On that route, its meaning traces to Greek Iásōn (Iason), “healer,” from iasthai, “to heal.” A separate stream of influence comes from Brazilian Portuguese Jaci (from Tupi-Guarani Îasy), the name of the moon goddess, yielding the meaning “moon”; English spellings Jacy/Jacie sometimes reflect this.

Jacie has seen modest use since the 1980s, with higher visibility for sibling spellings Jacey and Jaycee. Variants include Jacy, Jaci, Jaycie, Jaycee, Jasey; related masculine forms are Jace and Jayce. The name also fits the American pattern of names inspired by the initials J.C. Overall, Jacie blends contemporary sound with either the luminous “moon” imagery or the gentler sense of “healing.”
