Dailey
Meaning of Dailey
Dailey, pronounced DAY-lee, is a spirited choice for a baby girl that bridges Celtic heritage and a dash of everyday charm. Its roots trace back to the Irish surname Ó Dálaigh, meaning “descendant of Dálach,” a word that conjures images of gatherings, storytelling and the warmth of community. At the same time, Dailey playfully nods to the English word “daily,” hinting at reliability—like a friendly sunrise that greets each morning. While it hovers around the 900th rank on U.S. baby-name charts in recent years, that modest popularity ensures Dailey feels refreshingly rare yet instantly approachable, much like discovering a tucked-away café that becomes your favorite go-to spot. Its soft, melodic syllables roll off the tongue with ease, offering a perfect balance of substance and sweetness. With Dailey, families gain a name that’s as steady as the dawn and as full of promise as tomorrow’s gathering—rooted in tradition but sparkling with a modern twist.
