History & Origin

Masey is a spelling variant of Macy and Massey, English surnames rooted in a Norman French place name and occasionally tied to Matthew. As surnames-as-first-names caught on for girls in the 1990s, Macy led the way and lighter spellings like Masey followed, peaking in the early 2000s.

It stayed rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, so a Masey from then would be in her twenties. It reads as a breezy, preppy surname name, at home beside Macey and Kasey.

Did you know? Macy's leap from surname to girl's name in the 1990s pulled along cousins like Masey and Macey, all sharing the same crisp sound.
