Darrion is English in Origin.

Darrion is a modern American given name, most commonly viewed as a creative spelling of Darion/Darian and ultimately connected to Darius, the ancient Persian royal name (Old Persian Dārayavahuš) meaning “he who holds/possesses the good.” The form may also reflect blending with Darren and Dorian, which has encouraged the doubled-r spelling and given it a contemporary sound while retaining classical roots.

Usage in the United States rose in the late 1980s and 1990s amid interest in -ian and -ion endings, with spellings varying widely. Variant forms include Darion, Darrien, Darian, Darrian, Darien, Daryon, and Deryon; related names are Darius, Darren, and Dorian. Feminine counterparts include Daria, Darienne, and Dariana. With the positive “possessor of good” meaning and flexible style, Darrion offers a modern twist on an enduring cross-cultural lineage.
