Darel

Meaning of Darel

Darel, pronounced DAIR-uhl, bursts onto the scene like sunlight dancing over a Spanish courtyard. It traces its roots to Old French and English, carrying whispers of “beloved” and even the rustic charm of a huckleberry grove. Since the 1910s, parents have sprinkled it on birth certificates with a wink—only about a dozen baby boys wear it each year in the U.S., giving it that secret-gem glow. Its popularity has waltzed from the 500s in the Roaring ’20s to a cozy spot near the 900s today. Darel feels like a warm breeze, a playful flamenco flourish in a world of predictable names. It’s the kind of moniker that might just inspire abuela to break into mariachi at your next family gathering.
