Meaning & origin
Daissy is a rare modern spelling of the flower name Daisy, recorded in U.S. data since 1983. Its peak year of use was 1990, though it never reached a rank in the national top 1000, indicating fewer than five births per year in most years. The name has remained stable in rarity, with no notable geographic concentration in top states. The variant spelling follows a pattern of adding a double 's' to familiar names, as seen with Maisie. Daissy offers a distinctive take on a classic nature name without departing far from the original's cheerful sound.
Daissy is a modern phonetic respelling of the name Daisy, which derives from the Old English dæges eage, meaning 'day's eye', referring to the flower that opens at dawn. The spelling with a double 's' is a 20th-century innovation, perhaps influenced by names like Maisie. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1983 and saw modest use through the 1990s.
