Mace is English in Origin.
Mace is an English given name with layered roots. Most directly it reflects medieval French Macé, a vernacular form of Matthieu, ultimately from Hebrew Matityahu, "gift of Yahweh." It also survives as a transferred surname: Mace/Macey/Macy trace to Norman place-names such as Massy and to the French personal name Macé carried into England after 1066. While English words for the weapon and the aromatic spice share the spelling, those are secondary associations rather than the source of the personal name.
Documented in Anglo-Norman and later English records, Mace appears in colonial and frontier-era America and enjoys sporadic modern use in the United States and the UK, favored for its brisk, one-syllable sound. It is primarily masculine but occasionally unisex. Variants and related forms include Macé, Mase, Macey/Macy/Macie, and, through the Matthew root, Matthew, Matias, Matteo, Matthieu, and Maciej.
