History & Origin

Jacie is a contemporary spelling variant of Jacey or Jaycee, names that emerged in the United States primarily as phonetic representations of the initials J.C. The name may also function as a pet form of Jacqueline, the French feminine of Jacques, which traces back to the Hebrew Jacob.

Jacie and its variants gained traction in the late 20th century as American parents sought short, peppy girls' names with a friendly sound. The -ie ending gives it a soft, modern feminine quality distinct from the more traditional Jackie.
