Darrokh as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Darrokh

What is the meaning of the name Darrokh ?

The baby name Darrokh is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdærək/ (DAIR-ək),/dɑːˈrɔx/ or /dɑːˈrʊx/ (dah-ROKH with a guttural 'kh' as in Bach).

Darrokh is Persian, Scottish in Origin.

Darrokh is a rare modern given name, likely a creative spelling of the Gaelic name Darroch, derived from Scottish/Irish Gaelic darach "oak," which in turn goes back to Old Irish dair/doire "oak; oak grove." It therefore carries the meaning "oak" and, by extension, connotations of strength, steadfastness, and wisdom in Celtic symbolism. As a personal name, the Darroch/Darragh family spread from a Scottish surname revived as a given name in the 19th-20th centuries and parallels the Irish use of Darragh/Daragh and Dáire.

Variant forms and cognates include Darroch, Darach, Darragh, Daragh, Daire (Dáire), and Dara (an Anglicized short form now often unisex). The spelling Darrokh reflects contemporary stylization, especially the -kh ending seen in various transliterations, but it does not indicate a separate Persian or Slavic etymology. Usage remains uncommon across English-speaking countries, making Darrokh a distinctive, heritage-inflected choice with clear roots in the venerable oak tradition.
