Daffy Origin and Meaning
The name Daffy is a boy's name.
Daffy is a masculine name that originated primarily as a nickname or diminutive form. It can be short for names like Daffyd (the Welsh form of David) or may simply be used as an independent given name. The name inevitably calls to mind Daffy Duck, the famous Warner Bros. cartoon character known for his zany personality. This association gives the name a playful, energetic quality. As a given name, Daffy remains quite rare, making it a truly distinctive choice. The name has informal charm and a cheerful sound, though some parents might hesitate due to the cartoon connection or the English slang meaning of 'daffy' (silly or foolish).
