Darrile is English, Norman in Origin.

Darrile is a modern, rare English given name that functions as an altered spelling of Darrell/Daryl, both ultimately drawn from the Norman French locational surname d’Airel. The surname signified “of Airel,” referencing the commune of Airel in Normandy, and passed into England after the Norman Conquest. As a given name, the Darrell/Daryl family took root in the 19th century and surged in the United States during the mid-20th century, helped by the visibility of film producer Darryl F. Zanuck and various athletes.

The Darrile form likely blends features of Darryl and Daryle, giving a distinctive -e ending while keeping the familiar DAIR-əl/DARE-uhl sound. It is used chiefly for boys but sometimes appears as unisex. Close variants include Darrell, Darrel, Darryl, Daryl, Daryle, Darel, Darell, and Darryll. Meaning remains locational - “from Airel” - making Darrile a contemporary twist on a name with medieval Norman roots.
