Macie is English in Origin.

Macie is a modern, feminine spelling of Macy, itself from an English surname of Norman French origin. The surname points to the Norman place-names Macey or Massy in Normandy, ultimately from the Gallo-Roman personal name Maccius plus the locative suffix -acum, yielding the sense "the estate of Maccius." Medieval French also had the given name Macé (a form of Mathieu/Matthew), which sometimes overlapped with the surname, further encouraging its later use as a given name.

Used in England as a surname after the Norman Conquest, Macy/Macie appeared as a first name in America by the 19th century and became popular for girls in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Variant spellings include Macy, Macey, Maci, and Macee; masculine use is uncommon today. Although often confused with Maisie, that name is a Scottish/English pet form of Margaret and is etymologically distinct.
