Tracie

Meaning of Tracie

Tracie is an English feminine given name, a spelling variant of Tracy that ultimately derives from an Anglo-Norman surname linked to the Latin Thracia, the ancient region of Thrace. Pronounced TRAY-see (/ˈtreɪ.si/), it emerged in mid-20th-century America as a stylish alternative to the more common Tracy, offering a subtle flourish in its “-cie” ending. Carried by figures in literature and pop culture, the name conveys a blend of resilience and approachability, suggesting quiet confidence without pretense. In Oklahoma, Tracie saw its strongest popularity during the 1970s and early 1980s—regularly ranking within or near the top 100—before settling into a modestly vintage niche. Today, it appeals to parents seeking a name that feels familiar yet distinct, balancing straightforward charm with a hint of individuality.
