Dailey is an uncommon yet charming given name of Irish origin, derived from the Gaelic surname Ó Dalaigh, which translates to 'descendant of Daly'. It's a unisex name, although it's more commonly found as a masculine name in recent years. The name Dailey has been used sparingly throughout history, contributing to its distinctive and memorable character.
