Pearl or bitter; also associated with maize (corn)
Maizie is primarily a diminutive of Margaret, which comes from the Greek word 'margarites' meaning pearl. It is also frequently used as a playful variant of Maisie or a nature-inspired name referencing the cereal grain maize. In modern usage, it has evolved into a standalone name with a cheerful, rustic appeal.
