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.
In Korean contexts, Daye can represent the feminine name Da-ye (다예). Meanings vary by the hanja chosen, often expressing ideas like “many talents” (多藝) or “abundant wisdom” (多睿). Variant forms include Day and Dae in English, and Da-ye in Korean; related names across traditions include Daya. Overall, Daye blends heritage and brightness while remaining brief and distinctive.
