Daffy Origin and Meaning

The name Daffy is a girl's name.

Daffy is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive of names like Daphne or David, though it's more widely recognized as the name of the animated character Daffy Duck. The name has a playful, whimsical quality that evokes cheerfulness and spirited personality. As a given name for humans, Daffy remains extremely rare, likely due to its strong cartoon association and the informal meaning of 'silly' or 'eccentric.' Despite these challenges, some parents might be drawn to its upbeat sound and distinctiveness. The name's unconventional nature makes it memorable, though a person named Daffy might need to embrace its quirky associations or opt for a more formal name on official documents.
