Origin: Irish

Meaning: From Arcy; From the fortress; Descendant of the dark one

Darcee is a name laden with Jane-Austen-era romance and a variant of Darcy, which she used for one of her central characters in Pride and Prejudice. This gender-neutral name comes from a French surname, meaning “from Arcy,” or “from the fortress,” and the Irish surname Ó'Dorchaidhe, meaning “descendant of the dark one.” It goes without saying that Darcee will have the strength to balance their dark side with all their other brilliant qualities.
