Dae Origin and Meaning
The name Dae is a girl's name.
Dae is a concise feminine name of East Asian origin, particularly Korean, where it means 'greatness' or 'big.' In Korean contexts, it can be a standalone name or part of a compound given name. The name also appears in other cultures with varying meanings - in Welsh mythology, Dae relates to birds. As a modern given name, Dae appeals to parents seeking minimalist names with cross-cultural appeal. Its brevity makes it practical across languages, while its positive meaning and soft sound give it a gentle yet empowered quality. Though uncommon in Western countries, Dae has gained some popularity as parents increasingly look to international naming traditions.
