Meisy is Scottish in Origin.
Meisy is a modern feminine given name, most commonly interpreted as a creative spelling of Maisy or Maisie, the Scottish and English pet form of Margaret (Gaelic Mairead), from Greek Margarites, 'pearl'. The sound also overlaps with Macy and Macey (an English surname-turned-forename from the Norman place name Massy), so some bearers read it through that lineage. In South African usage, the similar Afrikaans word Meisie ('girl, lass') functions as an affectionate nickname and occasional given name, reinforcing the same 'may-see' pronunciation that Meisy suggests.
As a standalone form, Meisy is rare and appears chiefly in late 20th- to 21st-century records, favored for its light, friendly sound and streamlined spelling. Variant forms and cognates include Maisy, Maisie, Maizie, Maicy, Macy, Macey, Macie, Meisie, and Meisi. Depending on the chosen etymology, meanings range from 'pearl' to 'from Massy' (a Norman place-name), while many parents embrace its simple, bright feel.
Meisy is seldom given. In all, it turns up just 112 times, across 25 countries.
