Darrelle is Norman French in Origin.

Darrelle is a modern elaboration of Darrell, ultimately from the English surname derived from the Norman French locative d'Airelle, meaning "of/from Airelle," a locality in Normandy (now Airel). As a given name it therefore carries a toponymic sense rather than an inherent lexical meaning; the -elle ending adds a Franco-Romance flavor and has encouraged occasional use for girls, though the name remains largely masculine.

Used as a personal name in English since the 19th century, the Darrell/Daryl family rose sharply in North America in the mid-20th century and remains familiar through spellings such as Darrell, Darell, Darryl, Daryl, Daryll, Derrell, and Durrell; related feminine-leaning variants include Darylle and Darrelle. The Darrelle spelling is rare but noticeable in the United States, borne by figures like NFL star Darrelle Revis, and sees sporadic, unisex usage in contemporary records.
