Darcie meaning

Darcie is an international girl's name.

From the surname Darcy: Norman 'from Arcy', or Irish dorcha, 'dark'

Also used to mean: dark one

Darcie is a feminine spelling of Darcy, an old surname with two separate roots. One is Norman: d'Arcy, "from Arcy", the name of a family from a place called Arcy in northern France that came to England after the Norman Conquest. The other is Irish: Ó Dorchaidhe, "descendant of the dark one", from Irish dorcha, which Ó Dónaill's dictionary gives as "dark, without light". The two names merged in Ireland. Its most famous bearer is fictional: Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy, the hero of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. The spelling Darcie marks it as a girl's name.
