Maysey is English, Scottish in Origin.
Maysey is a modern, rare spelling of the familiar Scottish pet form Maisie/Maisy, itself derived from Scottish Gaelic Maighread, the Scottish form of Margaret (from Greek Margarites, "pearl"). The pronunciation is typically MAY-zee. The -ey ending reflects English nickname patterns and the visual influence of May and Macey/Macy.
As a given name, Maysey appears sporadically in Britain and North America from the late 19th century as a nickname for Margaret or Mary, and more recently as a standalone choice alongside the revival of Maisie in the 2000s. Variants and cognates include Maisie, Maisy, Maysie, Maizie, Maizy, Maycie, Macy, and Macey; related short forms are May and Mae. Meanings therefore converge on "pearl" through the Margaret line, with secondary associations from May (the month, from Roman Maia) or the surname Macy/Macey. It remains informal, bright, and vintage-leaning.
Maysey is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 2 times, across 2 countries.
