Tracie

Girl name · 33 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Tracie: 33 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 8 births in 1987.

A feminine form of the surname Tracy, Tracie arrived in Scotland via the Norman French place name Tracy, ultimately from the Gallo-Roman personal name Thracius or the Latin _tractus_ meaning "territory." The name gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the 1960s and 1970s. Notable bearers include American actress Tracie Thoms, known for _Rent_ and _Cold Case_, and singer Tracie Spencer, who won the _Star Search_ talent show. The California city of Tracy was named after railroad executive Lathrop J. Tracy, though the connection to the given name is indirect.
