Fancy is a given name in occasional use in the Anglosphere. It is derived from the English vocabulary word fancy, a shortened version of the word fantasy. The word is also used in reference to an unusual, novel idea. [1] The word is also used to describe elaborate ornamentation or an individual preference for a person or object. [2]
The modern sense of "extremely zealous" dates from around 1647; the use of fanatic as a noun dates from 1650. However, the term "fancy" for an intense liking of something (a usage attested by 1545), [2] while being of a different etymology, coincidentally carries a less intense but somewhat similar connotation to "fanatic".
