Dacie, pronounced DAY-see, is a sweet and sprightly offshoot of the beloved Daisy, whose Old English roots (daegeseage, or “day’s eye”) evoke sunlit petals unfolding at dawn. This charming variant feels like a secret handshake between tradition and originality, conjuring images of morning dew sparkling on wildflower meadows. Although Dacie has never stormed the top of the popularity charts, she’s made delightful cameo appearances across nearly a century—handing out a handful of bright sparks in 1932, reemerging in the ’80s, and stirring gentle ripples in the 2000s, usually nestled in the mid-900s of U.S. rankings. It’s the kind of name that offers the cozy comfort of something timeless, yet carries a dash of indie spirit—like your quirky friend who always has the best stories. For parents craving a name that feels both familiar and fresh, Dacie delivers a warm, blossoming promise: a name as distinctive as it is delightful.
