About the name Darcy

Most people hear Darcy and think of Austen's proud gentleman, which lends the name an unearned aristocratic chill. On a girl it plays quite differently, brisk and a little sporty, and it is far more common in Britain and Australia than in America.

Darcy is a girl name of Norman French origin, pronounced DAR-see. On the NameRarity scale it scores 74 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
