What is the meaning of the name Tracey ?

The baby name Tracey is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced TRAY-see.

Tracey is English, Greek, Latin, Norman French in Origin.

Tracey is an English given-name spelling of Tracy, originally a Norman surname and place name. The earliest recoverable form behind it is Latin Thracius, used with the Gallo-Roman estate suffix -acum in Norman toponyms such as Tracy-Bocage and Tracy-sur-Mer. Thracius is Latin for a Thracian, from Greek Thraix/Thrax, naming a person from Thrace; the literal sense is therefore Thracius’s estate or, in shortened baby-name use, Thracian, of Thrace.

Tracy entered English naming chiefly through aristocratic Norman families after 1066, then reappeared as a surname-first given name in the English-speaking world. Tracey became a familiar feminine spelling in Britain, Ireland, North America, and Australia during the mid twentieth century, while Tracy also remained common for girls and occasionally boys. U.S. data show Tracey peaking in the 1960s; both forms have since fallen outside current mainstream rankings. Notable bearers include Tracey Ullman, Tracey Emin, and Tracey Thorn.
