Maisie, also spelt Maisy or other minor variations, is a feminine given name. It is the pet form of the Scottish Gaelic name Mairead or the Irish name Mairéad, which are the equivalent of the English name Margaret. The -ie is a diminutive suffix used in Scottish as well as Northern England English.[1]
Margaret is derived via French (Marguerite) and Latin (Margarita) from Ancient Greek: μαργαρίτης (margarítēs) meaning "pearl".[2] The Greek is borrowed from Indo-Iranian languages (Persian).[3][4][5]
