Daisou 代走 （だいそう）means pinch runner (in baseball).
Daiso 大粗 (だいそ）means course (the opposite of fine, used to describe the size of particles)

If you mean the 100 yen shop chain, then Daiso is just the name of the company in English; it's 株式会社大創産業, Kabushikigaisha Daiso Sangyo, or Daiso Sangyo Inc.
That's a bit boring really, I was hoping for a more interesting name origin!

Funny, I was just telling an Indian friend about Daiso, and he said "150?" And I thought he knew what it was, but he said that Daiso means 150 in Hindi, and he's never heard of the store. And in America, everything there costs $1.50. Just a random coincidence, I guess!
