Daphnie Origin and Meaning

The name Daphnie is a girl's name.

Daphnie is a feminine name that represents a spelling variation of Daphne, which originates from Greek mythology. In Greek tales, Daphne was a nymph who transformed into a laurel tree to escape Apollo's pursuit. The name derives from the Greek word for "laurel" or "bay tree," which was considered sacred and symbolized victory. This alternate spelling with an added 'i' gives the classic name a slightly different visual appearance while maintaining its mythological roots. While Daphne has experienced moderate popularity throughout the years, the Daphnie variant remains relatively uncommon, offering a subtle twist on the more traditional spelling while preserving its elegant, nature-inspired heritage.
