Darrion, pronounced /dəˈraɪən/, is a contemporary masculine given name of American provenance that emerged in the latter half of the twentieth century through the elaboration of antecedent forms such as Darian and Darren—names etymologically connected to the Persian Darius, signifying “he possesses” or “maintains well,” and to the Irish Ó Dáire, denoting an affiliation with strength and resilience. Through successive naming cohorts, Darrion has exhibited sustained yet moderate usage, reaching its apex in the early 2000s before settling at a rank of 894 in 2024 according to United States birth records, a trajectory that underscores its enduring appeal within the evolving landscape of Anglo-American onomastic practices. The name’s amalgamated heritage and balanced phonemic construction have rendered it an attractive option for parents seeking a designation that simultaneously evokes historical depth and contemporary identity.
