Massey is English in Origin.
Massey is a unisex given name taken from an English and Irish surname of Norman origin. The surname points to the places Massy or Macey in Normandy, brought to Britain after the Conquest. It likely derives from the Gallo-Roman personal name Maccius (related to Latin Maccus), hence "person from Massy/Macey" or "of Maccius." Some sources connect it to Old French masse "mace, club," but the locational reading is the standard.
Found in medieval records as de Macey or de Massy, the name spread to Ireland, where a prominent Massy family produced the Viscounts Massy. As a first name, Massey emerged in the 19th to 20th centuries within the English-speaking trend of adopting surnames as given names. Variants and cognates include Massy, Massie, Masey, Macy, Macey, and Macie; Macy/Macey skew feminine today, while Massey remains a surname-style, gender-neutral choice.
