History & Origin

Dajae belongs to the inventive Da- names of its decades. It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its high in the mid nineteen-nineties.

The crisp two-beat sound gave it a modern, upbeat feel. A girl named Dajae would now be in her thirties, and the name reads as lively, contemporary, and easy to say.

Did you know? The Jae or Jay sound, light and unisex, served as a favorite second element in coined names of the period; Dajae fronts it with the productive Da- prefix to make a brisk, fresh whole.
