Darsy Origin and Meaning

The name Darsy is a boy's name.

Darsy is an uncommon masculine name that likely developed as a variation of more familiar names like Darcy or Darsey. Traditionally, Darcy originated as an Irish surname derived from 'Ó Dorchaidhe,' meaning 'descendant of the dark one.' As a first name, Darcy has been used for both genders but gained feminine associations in America despite remaining predominantly masculine in Ireland and Britain. The variant spelling Darsy is extremely rare, giving it a distinctive quality while maintaining the soft, approachable sound of the original. The name carries a contemporary feel with its trendy ending sound, while its Irish heritage adds depth. Parents might choose this spelling to create a more unique version of the increasingly popular Darcy.
