Maisyn

The name Maisyn is a variant spelling of the name Maisie, which is a diminutive or pet form of the name Margaret. Margaret is derived from the Greek name Margarites, which means 'pearl'.

The name Margaret was popular among Christians in the Middle Ages and was borne by a semi-legendary Scottish queen who was the wife of Malcolm III. The name became widespread in England after the Norman Conquest in the 11th century.

The diminutive form Maisie emerged in Scotland in the late 19th century as a nickname for Margaret. Maisyn is a modern variant spelling of this diminutive name.

While Maisyn is a relatively new spelling, it has grown in popularity in recent years, particularly in the United States and Canada.
