Leyci is in Origin.

Leyci is a modern spelling of Lacey, a given name that began as an English surname of Norman origin. The surname belongs to the de Lacy family, taken from Lassy in Calvados, Normandy, and became established in England and Ireland after the 11th century. As a habitational surname, its core meaning is from Lassy, though association with the word lace later colored its image with notions of delicacy and elegance.

Used as a first name since the 19th century, Lacey and its many variants rose in English-speaking countries in the late 20th century and were adopted in Latin America, where phonetic spellings like Leyci, Leicy, and Leisy preserve the LAY-see sound. Other forms include Lacy, Lacie, and Laci. Today the name is chiefly feminine, though historically unisex. Leyci retains the surname-to-given-name heritage while offering a fresh, contemporary look for parents seeking a light, graceful choice.
