Our story of Mazzy
Ours, offered as ours. Maisie is the likeliest respectable ancestor: it is a Scottish diminutive of Margaret, which means a pearl, and it produced Mazie and Mazzy by ordinary phonetic drift. What is documented is the timing — the American record for Mazzy begins in the 1990s, shortly after a band of that name became known. A name with a dated cause is rarer than one with an etymology, and worth more.
