Darrille is English in Origin.

Darrille is a rare modern English variant within the Darrell/Darryl/Daryl family. The root goes back to the Norman French locational surname d’Airel, meaning “from Airel,” after the commune in Manche, Normandy. Carried to England by the Normans, Darrell became established as a medieval surname and later migrated into given-name use in the 19th century. In North America, it rose notably during the mid–20th century, spawning numerous spellings; Darrille likely emerged then as a creative form influenced by French-looking -ille endings. While chiefly masculine, the broader name group has seen occasional unisex use.

Meaning: “of/from Airel (Normandy).” Close variants include Darrell, Darrel, Darryl, Daryl, Daryll, Derrell, Derrill, Darell, and Darryle. The Darrille spelling remains uncommon, lending a distinctive twist while preserving the historical lineage and straightforward locational sense of the original name.
