Lacey

Lacey began as a surname in Norman France, derived from a place name near Lassy in Calvados, signifying 'belonging to Lassy.' This geographical marker traveled with the Normans to England after 1066, gradually evolving into a given name. Over centuries, its meaning softened, and it became associated with a sense of brightness and cheerfulness, a journey from land ownership to a joyful appellation.

There's a lightness to the name Lacey, a feeling that suggests an open smile and a friendly greeting.
