Dacea is Romanian in Origin.

Dacea is a rare feminine name, typically seen as a modern respelling of Dacia, the Latin name of the Roman province encompassing much of present-day Romania and Moldova. The underlying ethnonym Dac- referred to the Dacians; thus the name carries the sense “a Dacian woman” or “from Dacia.” Through Latin and Greek (Dacia; Greek Dakia), it connects to Romanian forms based on Dac-.

In recorded given-name use, Dacea surfaces in English-speaking countries only sporadically, most often from the late 20th century onward, likely influenced by the classical place-name trend and by the sound-alike Irish surname-first-name Dacey. Related forms include Dacia (English, Romance languages), accented Dácia in Portuguese, Romanian Daciana (a well-established feminine derivative), and the nickname Dace. Because it is so uncommon, spellings and pronunciations vary (DAY-see-uh is typical). The name offers historical gravitas with a crisp modern sound.
