Masey is English in Origin.
Masey is a modern given name with two converging roots. As a surname-derived option, it aligns with Macy/Macey, ultimately from the Norman place names Massy (Île‑de‑France) and Macey (Manche) carried to England after 1066; in that line it simply means “from Massy/Macey.” It can also be read as a creative spelling of Maisie, the Scottish diminutive of Margaret, from Greek Margarites, “pearl.”
As a first name, Masey rose in late 20th‑century English‑speaking use, fitting the trend of surname crossovers and bright, two‑syllable girls’ names; it remains uncommon and occasionally unisex but skews feminine. Near variants include Macy, Macey, Macie, Masie, and on the Maisie branch: Maisie, Maisy, Maizie, Mazie. The dual etymology lets families choose between a locational heritage vibe and the jewel‑tone meaning “pearl,” with simple nicknames like Mae or May.
