Darille as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Darille

What is the meaning of the name Darille ?

The baby name Darille is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced DAH-rill,də-RIL.

Darille is English in Origin.

Darille is a modern given name most plausibly built on the English surname-based forenames Darrell/Daryl, which descend from the Norman French locative d’Airel, “from Airel,” a commune in Normandy. The -ille ending lends a Francophone look (cf. Camille, Lucille), so the spelling often reads as unisex. While not a traditional form in French, it fits contemporary English naming patterns that adapt surname names with softer endings.

Usage of Darille is rare, showing up sporadically in late-20th and early-21st-century records as a creative revision of Darrell/Daryl and sometimes alongside the modern Dariel/Darielle set. Close variants and relatives include Darrell, Darryl, Daryl, Daryll, Darelle, Darielle, and Dariel; diminutives can be Dar or Dari. The most defensible historical meaning follows Darrell: “from Airel” or “dweller from Airel.” As a modern coinage, however, parents may adopt it more for its smooth sound and international feel than for etymology.
