History & Origin

Lacie is a variant spelling of Lacey or Lacy, which originated as the Norman French baronial surname de Lacy, taken from Lassy in Normandy. The family became prominent in England and Ireland after the Norman Conquest.

As a given name, Lacey entered use in the 20th century, popular for its lace association and its gentle sound. Lacie is one of several spelling variants — including Laci, Lacey, and Lacy — that emerged as the name was used more widely. It sits comfortably alongside other soft -ee ending names like Gracie, Sadie, and Rosie.
