What does the name Tracey mean?
Tracey is a variant of Tracy, says Behind the Name, which comes from an English surname taken from a Norman French place name meaning “domain belonging to Thracius”. Charles Dickens used it for a man in The Pickwick Papers (1837), and Tracy Lord, the heroine of the film The Philadelphia Story (1940), made it a girls’ name. It can also be a pet form of Theresa.
Tracey nicknames and other forms
Behind the Name lists Tracy, Traci, Tracie and Tracee as variant spellings, and Trace as a short form. Tess and Tessa are related through Theresa.
Some famous Traceys
Dame Tracey Emin, born in Croydon in 1963, is an English artist known for deeply personal work. Wikipedia says her installation My Bed was shown when she was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1999. In 2011 she became Professor of Drawing at the Royal Academy, one of its first two female professors since it was founded in 1768.
Tracey through the decades
Tracey was at its height in the 1960s. US Social Security data has it at 98th in the 1960s, when more than 40,200 American girls were named Tracey, and 111th in the 1970s. Behind the Name shows it also ranked in the top 100 in Canada, Ireland and New South Wales in the 1970s and 1980s.
Did you know?
The Simpsons began on a show named after a Tracey. Wikipedia says The Tracey Ullman Show debuted on Fox on April 5, 1987, and its short cartoons about the Simpson family were spun off into the longest-running American scripted prime-time series. It was also the first Fox prime-time show to win an Emmy.

Who is it for and how she can use it
Whether Tracey is eight or eighty, a 6" x 9" notebook is a comfortable size: big enough to write in properly, slim enough to carry. The 160 lined pages don’t come with a set layout, so she decides what it’s for. Journal, planner, class notes, recipes, travel log or doodle book all work. And with her name on the cover, nobody will mistake it for theirs.
Why personalized works
Personalized gifts show you thought about the person, not just the occasion. A notebook with Tracey on the cover is affordable, useful every day and still feels special. It’s also a safe choice when you’re not sure of someone’s style, because everyone needs somewhere to write things down.
