Daisy

Daisy as a name

“Daisy” is a common English given name that has been used since the 19th century. It is derived from the name of the flower “daisy,” which comes from the Old English words “daes eage,” meaning “day’s eye,” because the flower opens during the day and closes at night.

The name “Daisy” became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and was often given to girls who were born in the spring or summer months, when daisies are in bloom. It has since remained a popular name for baby girls in English-speaking countries.

In addition to its association with the flower, the name “Daisy” has also been used in literature and pop culture. For example, in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel “The Great Gatsby,” one of the main characters is named Daisy Buchanan. In Disney’s “Mickey Mouse” cartoons, the character Daisy Duck is a prominent figure.
