Delcy Name Meaning and Origin

Delcy is of English origin, though its meaning is somewhat uncertain. It is often considered a variant or a diminutive of names like Delia or Dulcie, both of which have Latin roots. Delia is derived from “Delos,” an island in Greek mythology, while Dulcie comes from the Latin word “dulcis,” meaning “sweet” or “gentle.” The name Delcy is typically feminine, though it can occasionally be used for boys as well. While not as common today, it has an old-fashioned charm and has been used in various English-speaking countries.
