Maesi is Scottish in Origin.

Maesi is a contemporary feminine given name, most often seen as a stylized variant of Maisie or Macy. As a cousin of Maisie, it traces to the Scottish pet form of Mairead (Margaret), ultimately from Greek Margarites meaning “pearl.” Maisie was firmly established by the late 19th century - immortalized in Henry James’s novel What Maisie Knew - and has remained popular across the British Isles.

Spelled with -si, Maesi also echoes Macy, an English surname derived from the Norman place name Massy, introduced after the Conquest; in modern use it rose in the United States from the late 20th century. Because of these twin lineages, Maesi carries both the luminous “pearl” association and the sleek, surname-style vibe favored in contemporary naming. Related forms include Maisie, Maisy, Maizie, Maizy, Macy, Macie, Macey, and Maci.
