Pearl
Maisey is a diminutive of Mairead, the Scottish Gaelic form of Margaret. It ultimately derives from the Greek word 'margarites', referring to a pearl. While traditionally a nickname, it has gained traction as a standalone name in the UK and is increasingly seen as a fresh alternative to Daisy in the US.
