Meaning & origin
Darrie is a rare name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1951. It reached its highest usage in 1965 but has never ranked in the top 1000. The name is likely a variant of Darrell or Darrin, giving it a mid-20th-century feel. Despite its obscurity, Darrie has a friendly, approachable sound and could appeal to parents seeking a name that is both familiar and uncommon. Its trajectory has been stable, with occasional births but never widespread adoption. No states have recorded Darrie as a top name, and it remains a distinctive choice.
Darrie is a modern English name, likely a diminutive or spelling variant of Darrell, which derives from the Old English dær ‘dear’ or the Norman French d’Airelle.
