History & Origin

Icie surfaced in American records around the turn of the twentieth century, part of a fashion for short, warm '-ie' names coined at home rather than borrowed from tradition. The most natural reading ties it to the ordinary word 'icy', reused as a name, though the trail is thin and other roots have been suggested.

It never spread widely, peaking around 1915 at only a few dozen girls a year and fading to near-nonexistence by mid-century. It reads today as a genuine antique with an uncertain story rather than a revived favorite.

Did you know? Icie is one of a cluster of homespun '-ie' names that dotted American birth records a century ago; it was scarce even at its 1915 high of only a few dozen girls a year.
