Pearl; bitter; or child of light
Mayzee is a modern phonetic spelling of Maisie, which originated as a Scottish diminutive of Margaret. As a variant of Margaret, it shares the meaning 'pearl,' though its playful spelling gives it a contemporary American feel. It is also occasionally associated with the name May or the flower hawthorn.
