Meaning & origin
Daril is a rare masculine name that appeared in U.S. birth records in 1936, but it has never broken into the top 1,000. Its peak came in 1966, when it saw its highest usage, though that number still left it well outside the mainstream. Since then, the name has followed a stable trajectory, appearing only sporadically. Daril is most likely a spelling variant of the more familiar Darrel or Darryl, names that themselves peaked in the mid-20th century. The name did not cluster in any particular state in its recorded history. For parents seeking a name that is uncommon but recognizable, Daril offers a subtle twist on a mid-century classic.
Daril is likely a variant spelling of Darrel or Darryl, names of English origin that may derive from the Old French 'd'Airelle,' meaning 'from Airelle.' Airelle is a place in France. The name has also been associated with the English surname Darrell, which has Norman roots. Daril saw modest use in the United States beginning in the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1960s.
