D'Arcy

You don't have to be an iconic literary character like Mr. D'Arcy to recognize the beauty in this French name. D'Arcy works for both genders and means "dark." Although it's a name that's been around for quite a while, the name came back into the public eye with actress D'Arcy Carden, who played the not-girl robot Janet in The Good Place. As a surname, D'arcy could come from the Irish surname O'Dorchaidhe, from the word dorcha meaning "dark." It might also mean "from Arcy," a village in La Manche, northern France.
