Origin and meaning of Daisy
Daisy comes from the Old English dæges ēage, 'day's eye', because the little flower opens its petals at dawn and closes them at dusk. Born as a flower name, it also serves as a pet form of Margaret, since the French for daisy is marguerite. Fresh, bright and spring-like, it is typical of the Anglo-Saxon world, where it periodically comes back into fashion; elsewhere it stays uncommon but instantly recognisable for its floral charm.
