A cheerful nature name in its own right, Daisy is also widely used among Latino families in the United States, and the doubled-s Daissy is one of the spellings that circulated in those communities in the late twentieth century.
This spelling was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak around 1990. A girl named Daissy then is in her thirties today.
