Lacey is English in Origin.
Lacey is an English given name derived from the medieval surname Lacy/Lacey, borne by the powerful de Lacy family who settled in Britain after the Norman Conquest. The surname is habitational, pointing to Lassy in Calvados, Normandy; scholars connect the place name to the Gallo‑Roman personal name Lascius plus the suffix ‑acum, meaning “estate of Lascius.” As a forename, Lacey began appearing in the 19th century (at times as a unisex choice), but it became strongly feminine and widely familiar in the late 20th century across the United States and the United Kingdom.
The name carries a modern, ornamental association with “lace,” lending connotations of delicacy and charm, though this is a later folk resonance rather than its etymological root. Common variants include Lacy, Lacie, and Laci; related surname forms are de Lacy and de Lacey. Nickname: Lace.
