Darron

Meaning of Darron

Darron, pronounced /dɛrən/, is a masculine name of Celtic-Gaelic origin—deriving from the Irish “Darragh,” itself rooted in the Latin-inspired symbolism of Quercus (the oak)—and represents a variant spelling of Darren that has undergone onomastic adaptation in English-speaking contexts. Etymologically, it evokes the enduring strength of the oak tree, connoting resilience and steadfastness, while its phonological shape reflects a balanced interplay of stressed and reduced syllables characteristic of modern English prosody. Analysis of United States birth data shows a mid-20th-century rise—peaking in the mid-1960s with over 300 occurrences and a ranking near the top 400—followed by a gradual decline to 17 recorded newborns in 2024, a pattern that underscores Darron’s shift from broad popularity to selective appeal. This statistical trajectory and rich linguistic heritage render Darron an analytically compelling choice for those seeking a name that marries ancestral depth with contemporary distinction.
