Darol is English in Origin.

Darol is a modern English given name most often understood as a streamlined spelling of Daryl/Darrell. Those names trace to the Norman-French surname d'Airelle, identifying someone "from Airelle" in northern France; the surname later moved into English and then into given-name use. Because Darol echoes English dear, some sources assign a folk meaning of "beloved," but its historical sense is locational rather than descriptive.

In the United States the form Darol appears in records from the early 20th century, peaking modestly mid-century and remaining rare today. It has been borne by American musician Darol Anger, helping keep the spelling visible. Close variants and related forms include Darrell, Darryl, Daryl, Darel, Darrel, Darrol/Darroll, and the blended Darold or Derald; nicknames such as Dar and Dary occur. Usage is predominantly masculine, though Daryl has long been unisex.
