Daisy comes from the English word for the white flower, which goes back to Old English dægeseage, meaning "day eye". It was first used as a given name in the 19th century, when many other plant and flower names were coined, and it was fairly popular at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. F. Scott Fitzgerald used it for Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby (1925), and it is also used in Brazilian Portuguese and Latin American Spanish.
