Macoy
Meaning of Macoy
As a masculine given name, Macoy weaves together ancient Gaelic heritage and a fresh, global sensibility. Tracing its roots to the Gaelic Mac Aodha—literally “son of Aodh,” with Aodh evoking the elemental force of fire—Macoy carries an undercurrent of warmth and vitality that Indian parents especially appreciate for its rhythmic, almost melodic cadence. Pronounced muh-KOY (/məˈkɒɪ/), it conjures the gentle crackle of an evening hearth, suggesting both strength and serenity. Since first entering the US charts in 1996 at rank 776, Macoy has hovered in the 800s and 900s, reaching 910th in 2024 with 14 newborns—a testament to its steady, low-key appeal. It may not shine like a Diwali sparkler atop the rankings, but like a soft sitar refrain that lingers beyond its final note, Macoy leaves a memorable impression—modern yet timeless, distinctive yet warmly familiar.
