Daye is English in Origin.

Daye is a compact, unisex name with layered origins. In English it functions as a modern word-name from day, evoking light and new beginnings, and as a transferred surname found in medieval records as Day/Daye. That surname derives from Middle English daye/deye “dairymaid, servant,” from Old Norse deigja and Old English dæge, with associations to labor “by the day.” As a given name, Daye remains uncommon but has seen recent use in English-speaking countries for its crisp sound and upbeat meaning.
