Darcie

Darcie is a feminine given name, an English-language variant of the given name Darcy. It originates from the Old French surname d'Arcy, meaning "from Arcy," a toponym derived from several places named Arcy in France. The form Darcie appeared as a modern spelling in English-speaking countries, contrasting with the more established Darcy, which is also used as a surname and a given name.

The name is used primarily for girls and is most common in the United States and other English-speaking regions; it has never reached the enduring popularity of Darcy in some markets, but remains in occasional use today. Spelling variants include Darci and Darcy, with D'Arcy used mainly as a surname or in French contexts.

In culture and society, Darcie has been used for fictional characters and as a given name for real people in various fields, reflecting broader trends toward softer, vowel-rich names in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
