Meaning & Origin
A female given name, variant of Darcy.
Darci is a girl's baby name, a variant of Darcy, from the Irish Gaelic surname Ó Dorchaidhe meaning 'dark one,' or from the Norman French place name D'Arcy. The name gained romantic literary fame through Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
The softer 'ci' ending tilts Darci toward the feminine side of this traditionally unisex name. For Austen fans and parents drawn to names with a literary-romantic history, Darci has both charm and cultural resonance.
