Macy is the newest member of the girl's surname family that includes Tracy, Lacey and Stacy. It is by far the most contemporary of the group, with a tough edge that the others can't match. Singer Macy Gray helps pump up that toughness and cool. Avid shoppers may consider Macy a department store name.
