Daley
Meaning of Daley
Daley swoops off the tongue like a sunbeam scooting across a kitchen floor—light, lively and utterly unisex—pronounced DAY-lee (/ˈdeɪli/) with a breezy bounce that feels both fresh and familiar. Rooted in the misty hills of Ireland as the old Gaelic Ó Dálaigh, “assembly” or “gathering,” it carries the warm hum of community while sparking visions of high-diving feats à la Tom Daley and the steely leadership of Chicago’s legendary Daley family. In the U.S., Daley’s charm has enticed 5 to 15 tiny pioneers each year, comfortably settling in the mid-900s of the popularity charts—a quiet steady climb rather than a fireworks debut. Whether it’s whispered at a midnight feed or cheered across a playground, Daley sidles in with equal parts swagger and sweetness, a name that feels like yesterday’s heritage reinvented for tomorrow’s story.
