Etymology
Soucy is a French surname, and its exact origin is not fully certain. It is commonly explained as a locational name from a place called Soucy in France, though some surname traditions also allow for a nickname or regional form built on a similar French word root. In either case, the name is French in form and was later carried into North America by French-speaking settlers.
History
The surname is best known in French-speaking regions, especially Quebec and other parts of French Canada, where many French surnames were preserved and passed on after migration from France. In North America it has remained relatively uncommon, but it is familiar in Acadian and Quebecois family lines. Spelling has stayed fairly stable, with Soucy as the standard form.
