Meaning & origin
Ladarrius is a rare modern coinage that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1978. It reached its peak popularity in 1993, but its use has been declining steadily since then. By 2025, the name ranked 12,008, with only about 1 in every 341,615 male births receiving the name. Ladarrius exemplifies the creative naming style of the late 20th century, blending the prefix La- with the established name Darrius. Its top states are not well-defined due to its rarity, but it saw scattered use across the country during the 1990s. While not common, Ladarrius remains a distinctive choice for those seeking a name with modern roots.
Ladarrius appears to be a modern invented name, formed by adding the fashionable prefix La- to the name Darrius, a variant of Darius. Darius is of Persian origin, derived from the name Darayavaush, meaning 'he who holds firm the good.' The name first appeared in U.S. birth records in the late 1970s and saw modest use primarily in the 1990s.
