Meaning of Dacia

The name Dacia is a unique and historically rich choice for a baby girl. Originating from Romania, Dacia (pronounced DAH-chyah in Romanian) refers to an ancient region that corresponds to modern-day Romania and Moldova, evoking images of deep cultural heritage and historical significance. In English, the name is pronounced DAY-shuh, offering a different yet equally appealing phonetic variation. With its roots in history and geography, Dacia carries connotations of strength and timeless beauty. The name has seen sporadic use in the United States over the years, with varying popularity since 1921.
