Deisy is a girl's baby name of Spanish origin, the Spanish phonetic spelling of Daisy, from the Old English dæges eage meaning 'day's eye' — the flower that opens with the sun and closes at night.
Deisy is widely used in Mexico, Central America, and Colombia as the natural Spanish-language adaptation of the beloved English flower name. It carries all of Daisy's cheerful, sunny energy in a form that feels perfectly at home in Spanish-speaking communities.
