Daphnis is a boy’s name of Greek origin.

Daphnis was the son of Olympian Diety, Hermes, and a nymph—he also happened to be an immortal being. With so much lore to look into, baby might pick up an interest in mythology. Regardless, bestowing this unique name like a laurel wreath upon your bouncing baby will make them feel mighty special.
