mazie is English in Origin.

Mazie (pronounced MAY-zee) is a zesty variant spelling of Maisie, the Scots and English pet form of Margaret. Through Scottish Gaelic Mairead, it traces back to Greek Margarites, meaning "pearl," giving Mazie the enduring gemstone sense. The name has been used independently in the United States since the late 19th century, when nickname-style given names became fashionable, and it retains a warm, vintage feel.

Usage rose around the 1900s and has seen a quiet revival with other turn-of-the-century diminutives. Variants and cognates include Maisie, Maisy, Maizie, Maizy, and the longer roots Margaret and Marjorie; Mae often serves as a short form. Not to be confused with surname-derived Macy, Mazie keeps a different lineage. A notable bearer is Mazie Gordon-Phillips, New York's "Queen of the Bowery," which lends the name a compassionate, street-wise aura.
