Darayush is Persian in Origin.
Darayush is a Persian masculine name from Old Persian Dārayavahuš, source of modern Persian Dariush. The compound joins dāraya- “to hold, possess” with vahu- “good, virtue,” yielding the sense “holder of the good” or “upholder of virtue.” Variants shaped by transliteration include Darayush, Dariush, Daryoush, and Daryoosh; Darius is the Latinized form via Greek Dareios.
Renowned through Achaemenid kings Darius I, II, and III, the name moved into classical and later European use. Today it remains common in Iran and among the Persian diaspora, including Zoroastrian communities. International equivalents include Darius (English), Dariusz (Polish), and Dario/Darío (Italian/Spanish); Dara appears as a short form or related name. The core meaning also evokes prosperity and steadfast leadership, themes often associated with those rulers.
Darayush is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 1 time, across 1 country.
