Lecy is English in Origin.

Lecy is a rare modern feminine name most often interpreted as a variant of Lacey/Lacy, an English surname of Norman origin from de Lacy (“of Lassy,” a place in Calvados, France). Thus its core meaning points to geographic ancestry - “from Lassy” or “of the Lacy family” - while English speakers also associate it with the delicate imagery of lace. In some families Lecy also functions as a pet form of Alicia, aligning the pronunciation with LEE-see.

Usage as a given name appears in the English-speaking world from the late 19th century alongside other surname-to-first-name trends, but the spelling Lecy has remained uncommon; public awareness rose somewhat via American actress Lecy Goranson. Related forms and near-variants include Lacey, Lacy, Laci, Lacie, Lasey, and Lecey; as a nickname path, it intersects with Alicia and Alisa. Overall, Lecy offers a crisp, contemporary twist on a Norman-rooted classic.
