Maisie is a Scottish diminutive of Mairead, the Gaelic form of Margaret.
Margaret comes from the Latin Margarita, from the Greek margarites, “pearl”, a word probably borrowed from an Indo-Iranian language. The name has long been used in the United Kingdom and Australia. The actress Maisie Williams, who played Arya Stark in a television fantasy series, is a well-known bearer, and her birth name is Margaret.
The 11 stands for intuition: a Maisie often knows who is upset before a word is said, feels the mood of a room change and responds strongly to music, colour or a kind remark.
Maisie’s six letters sum to 29 and the total ends on 11, which is not shrunk to 2. She keeps her standards high, especially for herself.
A, I, I and E, the vowels, reach 24 and then 6, a sign of how much she values home, loyalty and harmony among those she loves. M and S, the consonants, make 5, which keeps her light-footed and flexible. She enjoys variety, copes with sudden changes and learns by trying things out.
M, a 4, opens the name and gives her a steady, trustworthy air. Her leading vowel, A, counts 1, so the steady air hides a quick start: faced with a novelty, she moves first and refines later.
Sensitivity, care and mobility form a profile that is lively and inward at once; the 11 may tug between inspiration and doubt. A family name and a birthday will show how much of it appears.
In 2025, Maisie ranked No. 43 among girls’ names in England and Wales.

Each letter is worth a digit from 1 to 9, and the total is reduced to a single digit.
M 4 + A 1 + I 9 + S 1 + I 9 + E 5 = 29 → 11
M 4 + A 1 + I 9 + S 1 + I 9 + E 5 = 29 → 11

In origin, yes: Maisie comes from the Gaelic Mairead, which is Margaret. Many families now give Maisie as a full first name, and it is also spelled Maisy or Maizie. Those spellings carry other totals, with Maisy at 22 and Maizie at 9, so the spelling that appears on the birth record is the one to count.
