Mayzie
Meaning of Mayzie
Mayzie, pronounced MAY-zee, is a contemporary twist on Maisie—the Scottish pet form of Margaret, from the Greek “margarítēs,” meaning “pearl”—while its first syllable nods to the Spanish “mayo” and evokes the freshness of spring celebrated throughout Latin America. Entering the U.S. baby-name charts in the late 1990s and now holding a steady rank in the 800s, it was chosen for 84 newborn girls in 2024, confirming a quiet yet consistent rise. Pop-culture recognition comes from Dr. Seuss’s confident Mayzie La Bird in “Horton Hatches the Egg” and its stage adaptation “Seussical,” giving the name a playful streak without compromising its elegance. The z-infused spelling injects subtle energy, positioning Mayzie as a familiar, bilingual-friendly option for parents who want a name that feels classic, travels easily across English and Spanish, and still stands apart in a crowded nursery roll.
