What does Darcy mean?
/ˈdɑɹ.si/2 syllablesOrigin: a surname

Darcy is an English surname of Anglo-Norman origin, taken from D'Arcy — literally "of Arcy," referring to a family that once held land in Arcy, France. It later became a first name in its own right, gaining extra polish from Mr. Darcy, the reserved, honorable love interest of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

Elegant and a touch aristocratic, Darcy suits a pet with quiet composure and understated good looks. It reads as refined rather than flashy, a good fit for a dignified companion who takes their time warming up to strangers.
