Meaning & origin

Dartha is an extremely rare American feminine name first recorded in 1914. It reached its highest usage in 1919, the peak year for this obscure coinage. The name has never appeared in the top 1000 rankings and its one-in-N ratio is too low to calculate, reflecting its rarity. Dartha shows stable, minimal usage over time, with no revival in recent decades. It is most likely a modern invention or a variant of Darthia, without clear etymological roots in any established language family. Parents choosing Dartha today would be selecting a virtually unique name with early 20th-century American vintage flavor.

Dartha is a rare American coinage first recorded in 1914. It may be a feminine elaboration of Darth, which itself is an obscure name possibly derived from English surname Darby or an invented form. No clear historical or linguistic derivation has been established.
