Meaning & origin
Darrelle is a modern English name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1957. Its peak year of usage was 1989, though it never reached the top 1000 national rankings. The name has remained relatively stable in its low frequency of use, with no signs of a revival. As a variant of the more common Darrel or Darnell, Darrelle carries a similar sound and style, fitting in with other 'el' and 'ell' ending names popular in the mid-20th century. It has not been associated with any particular region or top states, and its overall rarity gives it a distinctive quality.
