Origin: Greek

Meaning: laurel tree

Daffi is a girl’s name rooted in Greek origins, meaning “laurel tree.” A shoot-off from the Greek name Daphne, Daffi is more closely linked to nature than to Scooby-Doo. In Ancient Greece, the laurel foliage was weaved to form crowns and wreaths as a symbol of victory by athletes in sporting events. Today, the evergreen tree is synonymous with achievement, and the term laureate is used for those who have received an award or an achievement. With an etymology that gives new meaning to success, baby Daffi is set to become a Nobel laureate of her own.
