Dahy is in Origin.

Dahy is an Anglicized form of the Irish given name Dáithí (pronounced DAH-hee). The name goes back to Old Irish Dathí/Dáithí and is probably derived from the root dáith, meaning “swift, nimble” or “skilled,” denoting quickness of body or mind. In modern use Dáithí is often treated as the Irish equivalent of David for convenience, but it is not etymologically related to the Hebrew name (meaning “beloved”).

Attested in early medieval sources, including the annals that record Dathí, a 5th‑century High King of Ireland, the name remained in Gaelic tradition and saw renewed popularity in 20th‑century Ireland and among the diaspora. Variants and spellings include Dáithí, Daithí, Daithi, Dathí, Dathi, Dahy, and Dahey; the pet form Dáithín also occurs. Related Anglicizations sometimes substitute David in official records. The name remains distinctly Irish in flavor while being easy to pronounce in English.
