What Dacia means

Dacia is a given name.

The naming story behind Dacia

Wikidata records Dacia as a female given name. The entity identifier is Q43533031, and the classification was checked on 2026-10-20. The spelling matches a source label or alias exactly, without removing accents or linking it to a name merely because the letters look similar.

A database classification is different from an etymological explanation, so those questions remain open in the short meaning.

A modern root explanation needs an additional naming or linguistic reference.

American usage and historical context

In the United States, 2,712 girls were recorded with the name Dacia between 1921 and 2024. Its highest annual count was 104 in 1977; its best national rank was #1,187 in 1977.

Is Dacia rising or falling?

Rank movement and count movement can disagree — the number of distinct names in use keeps growing, so a name holding a steady count still slides down the list. Both are shown.

Shading is the share of that state's recorded girls given this name, not the raw count — otherwise the map would just show which states are biggest. Unshaded states have no published records for this period. U.S. birth records suppress state-year counts below 5; state counts therefore don't add up to the national total. Every state links to its full rankings. Dacia has too little recent state data to map, so this covers all years from 1910.
