Dulcy is an uncommon, yet charming female given name of Latin origin. It is derived from the Latin word 'dulcis,' which translates to 'sweet.' This moniker was likely used by early Christians as a virtue name, reflecting the desirable quality it signifies. Dulcy is also believed to have been used as a pet form of the Latin name Dulcia, though this usage is not as widely documented. While its popularity has waned over time, Dulcy remains a unique and endearing choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their daughter.
The name Dulcy experienced a late peak of popularity between 1948 and 1955 with consistently high numbers of births each year during this period. After that, its usage steadily declined from the early 1960s onwards.
