Disney Origin and Meaning

The name Disney is a girl's name of French origin meaning "from Isigny".

Disney will forever be associated with The Walt Disney Company, bringing to mind classic animated movies, Mickey Mouse, the Disneyland castle, Disney Channel, theme parks, and the likes of Frozen, The Avengers, Moana, and Toy Story. The multinational, mass media company has plenty of massive fans, a number of whom have honored their love for Disney by bestowing it on their daughters. It first appeared in the US charts back in 1989 and has been given to a small number of girls most years since then.

The name Disney itself is a surname, derived from the French d'Isigny, referring to someone from the Norman town of Isigny. Isigny may be etymologically related to the Germanic name Iso, possibly meaning "ice" or "iron".

Given to 6 girls in a recent year, influencer Aubree Jones, known for her out-there baby name choices (Trendy, Eclair, Truly), selected Disney Mae for her daughter, born in 2025, which may just encourage other Disney-loving parents to go for it too.
