Daicey is English in Origin.

Daicey is a modern, rare given name most often viewed as a creative spelling of Dacey. Dacey itself arises either from Irish Gaelic Déiseach, “a person of the Déise,” a historical people of Munster, hence the sense “southerner,” or from the Norman-French locative d’Acy, “from Acy” (a place-name in Picardy). Both paths entered English as surnames before migrating to first-name use. Phonetically, Daicey also brushes shoulders with Daisy, lending it a soft, floral feel without sharing that etymology.

As a given name, Daicey appears in Anglophone records sporadically from the late 19th century, used for both genders but trending feminine in contemporary use. Variant forms include Dacey, Dacy, Daicy, and Daicie; related Irish surnames are Deacy and Deasy. Meanings offered for Daicey therefore range from “of the Déise; southerner” to “from Acy,” with modern spellings emphasizing style and individuality.
