Darsey Origin and Meaning

The name Darsey is a girl's name.

Darsey is a feminine name that appears to be a variation of Darcy, which originated as an English surname derived from the Norman French d'Arcy, meaning "from Arcy" (a place in France). This spelling variant with an 'e' gives the name a softer, more explicitly feminine feel. Darsey has the advantage of maintaining the pleasant sound of Darcy while being more distinctive in spelling. The name carries a gentle sophistication and literary associations through Jane Austen's character Mr. Darcy. While not commonly used, Darsey appeals to parents seeking a name with classic roots but a contemporary twist. It strikes a balance between familiar and unique, traditional and modern, with its soft sounds and approachable nature.
