The name Daisy, derived from the flower of the same name, has been popularized as a given name for girls. It was first used as such in the late Victorian era, around 1890, and gained significant traction during the mid-20th century. The name Daisy is often associated with its namesake flower, which symbolizes innocence, purity, and beauty.
The name Daisy seems to have fluctuated in popularity over time. While it was relatively steady with around 5-8 births per year between 1880 and 1941, there was a significant increase in the late 1980s and early 1990s, peaking at 25 births in 1988 and 21 births in both 1986 and 1987. However, since then, its popularity has declined, with fewer than 10 births per year from 1994 onwards, and only 6 births recorded in the most recent data available (2022). Overall, there have been a total of 632 births named Daisy over this period.
