Meaning and origin of Mazie
Mazie is an English and Scottish name that is usually said to mean “pearl (via Margaret)”.
Mazie developed as a pet form of Margaret, following the Scottish Maisie, which came from Mairead, the Gaelic form of Margaret. Margaret itself goes back to the Greek margarites, 'pearl'. Mazie has a cheerful, vintage charm that fits the revival of old-fashioned nicknames like Millie and Josie. Mazie works as a standalone name or as a nickname. Maisie and Maizie are related spellings. Its sparkling sound suits parents who want a nickname-style name with genuine history behind it, since Margaret has been borne by queens and saints for centuries.
Other spellings with the same sound: Maisie.
