Deysi is a modern respelling of the name Daisy, which is derived from the English word for the flower. The daisy flower's name comes from Old English dæges eage, meaning 'day's eye,' referring to the flower's habit of opening its petals during the day. The name Daisy has been used as a given name since the 19th century, and Deysi emerged as a phonetic variant in the late 20th century, particularly in the United States.
