Meaning and background
The story behind Mazie
Mazie is an established English spelling variant of Maisie, a traditional Scottish and English familiar form in the Margaret name family. Its usual English pronunciation is MAY-zee, so the z does not turn it into a completely new name. This spelling works well for a dog when a familiar two-syllable call is wanted, but it is more accurate to trace it through Maisie than to invent a separate meaning for Mazie itself.
