Meaning & Origin
Alternative spelling of Maisie.
Maisy is a girl's baby name of Scottish Gaelic origin, a Scottish pet form of Margaret, derived from the Greek margarites meaning "pearl." It has the same cheerful, vintage charm as Daisy and Maisie.
Maisy is best known internationally through the beloved British children's book series by Lucy Cousins, where Maisy Mouse has delighted young readers since 1990. That wholesome literary association gives the name a warm, storybook quality that parents find deeply appealing.
