Darsie is Irish, Norman French in Origin.

Darsie is a unisex given name and surname variant of Darcy/D’Arcy. Derives from Norman-French locative d’Arcy, “of Arcy,” referencing places called Arcy, notably Arcy-sur-Cure in Yonne; the place-name likely from a Gaulish or Latin personal name Arcius + -acum “estate of.” In Irish contexts Darcy also anglicizes Ó Dorchaidhe, “descendant of the dark one,” yielding the common meaning “dark.” Scottish usage is bolstered by the Fife place-name Dairsie (historically Darsie).

As a forename, Darsie surfaces in Britain from the 18th–19th centuries, especially Scotland; Sir Walter Scott’s Redgauntlet (1824) features the hero Darsie Latimer. The spelling remains rare but recognizably tied to the broader Darcy family, used by both sexes; modern fashion skews feminine in the UK, Australia, and the U.S. Related forms include Darcy, Darcey, Darci, Darcie, D’Arcy, and Darsy. Overall meanings: “from Arcy; of Arcius’s estate,” or by Irish route, “dark.”
