Maizey Origin and Meaning

The name Maizey is a girl's name.

Maizey is a whimsical feminine name derived from 'maize,' the word for corn, ultimately from a Taino word adopted into Spanish and then English. As a name, it's often seen as a cutesy variant of Maisey or Maisie, which themselves originated as pet forms of Margaret, meaning 'pearl.' Maizey has a cheerful, playful quality with its 'z' sound and diminutive ending. The name has seen modest usage since the early 2000s, appealing to parents looking for something sweet and distinctive. Its agricultural connection gives it a wholesome, down-to-earth feel, while the spelling with 'z' and 'ey' ending adds contemporary flair. Maizey fits with other nature-inspired and vintage-style nickname names that have enjoyed renewed popularity.
