Tracee

Meaning of Tracee

Tracee (pronounced TRAY-see) is a variant spelling of Tracey, itself rooted in an Anglo-Norman place name and later the Irish surname Ó Treasaigh, meaning “warlike” or “spirited.” Though it seldom reached the top 100, Tracee’s consistent placement in the mid-200s on New York birth charts throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s underscores its reliable—if understated—appeal. The addition of the final “e” offers a subtle distinction that resonates with parents seeking a familiar name with a touch of individuality. Notable bearers such as actress Tracee Ellis Ross have further solidified its association with creative professionalism. This blend of historical depth and contemporary resonance positions Tracee as a name that is both grounded and adaptable.
