Also, Tacey meaning https://www.babynames.com/name/tacey
The origin of Tacey is from England and the meaning is “fruitful” that’s why it is pronounced TEY-see and not like the Latin word, that would be something like Ta-ceh (in that case the meaning would be silence or calm, nothing bad by the way) but in America is pronounced TAY-see so that’s why we know it’s from England. That’s the form that we have adopted in USA.
I personally think it is a precious name, with an easy roll off sound and a beautiful meaning. It’s cute, special, and very unique. I believe it’s related to the name Stacey. Love it!
'Tace, Tacey, and Tacye were fairly common female names among the Quakers. This wasn't a sexist command for women to keep quiet (actually the Quakers were quite egalitarian for their time); rather, it reflects the Quaker doctrine that the divine inner voice can be heard through silent contemplation. Examples of the name "Tace" can be found as early as the 1600s in England and Wales.'
The Puritans introduced this misogynistic name from St Paul's exhortation to women to "keep silent" in the churches!
