Maymee is English in Origin.

Maymee is a rare modern English given name, typically a phonetic respelling of Mamie/Mayme, long-standing pet forms of Mary or Margaret, and sometimes a blend of May with the affectionate -ee ending. Through Mary (from Hebrew Miryam), it can carry meanings proposed as "beloved," "wished-for child," or "sea/rebellion"; through Margaret (Greek margarites), it yields "pearl." If read as May + -mee, it evokes the month name from Maia, a Roman goddess linked to growth and "greatness."

Nickname forms like Mamie and Mayme flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially in the United States, before fading mid-century; First Lady Mamie Eisenhower reinforced the style. Maymee itself is very uncommon in historical records, appearing chiefly as a contemporary, playful variant chosen for its bright May-mee sound. Related forms and near-variants include Mamie, Mayme, Maymie, Maimie, Mame, Mimi, Mae, and May.
