Maizie

Maizie is a feminine given name, primarily used in English-speaking countries. It is a variant spelling of Maisie and Mazie and is often treated as a standalone name. The typical pronunciation is MAY-zee.

The name Maisie is a traditional diminutive form of Margaret, a lineage that English and Scottish naming practices carried into modern usage. Maizie, as a variant, shares this origin and has been used as both an affectionate nickname and a formal given name in its own right. The spelling Maizie is less common than Maisie but appears in birth records, literature, and contemporary naming lists.

In usage, Maizie can be found across generations and regions, though like many diminutive forms, it has seen fluctuating popularity. Some families choose Maizie for a vintage or lighthearted feel, while others prefer Maisie or related forms for a more classic association with Margaret.

Related names include Maisie, Mazie, Maisy, and Maggie, each with its own history and regional usage. The choice of Maizie may reflect a preference for a distinctive spelling while retaining ties to traditional names.
