Lacey
Meaning of Lacey
Lacey glides off the tongue as “LAY-see,” a name that began its journey as a Norman French surname meaning “from Lassy,” yet has long since traded in its passport for a wardrobe of delicate English lace. That mix of sturdy medieval roots and airy, feminine imagery gives Lacey an irresistible “steel-in-silk” appeal—think knight’s daughter twirling through a summer fête. Pop culture has kept the name in the spotlight: detective fans recall the trail-blazing duo “Cagney & Lacey,” millennials grew up with actress Lacey Chabert, and today’s kids may spot wrestler Lacey Evans flexing her muscles on TV. Stateside, Lacey has been a steady performer, dancing in and out of the Top 500 since the late 1970s and still charming a few hundred newborns each year—proof that classic sweetness never really goes out of style. For parents seeking a name that feels both vintage and vibrant, Lacey offers the best of both worlds: a touch of history, a dash of star power, and the effortless grace of its lace-like lilt.
