What is the meaning of the name Daisy ?

The baby name Daisy is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdeɪ.zi/ (DAY-zee).

Daisy is English in Origin.

From the Old English dæges ēage, meaning “day’s eye,” Daisy began as the name of the cheerful wildflower whose petals open with dawn and close at dusk. A symbol of innocence and new beginnings, it was adopted as a given name during the Victorian enthusiasm for nature names and has remained a bright, friendly staple in the English-speaking world.

Daisy also served as an English pet form of Margaret, inspired by the French word for the daisy, Marguerite (itself a form of Margaret). Variant spellings include Daisie, Daisey, and Daizy; related international flower-name equivalents include Marguerite (French), Margarita (Spanish), Margherita (Italian), Margarida (Portuguese), and Margareta (Scandinavian/Eastern Europe). Literary associations - Henry James’s Daisy Miller and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Daisy Buchanan - helped cement its modern familiarity and enduring charm.
