Darroll is English in Origin.

Darroll is a modern English given name derived from the surname Darrell, itself from the Norman French locative d'Airelle, "from Airelle," a place in Calvados, France. Carried to England with the Normans after 1066, Darrell entered English naming as a surname, then shifted into given-name use in the 19th–20th centuries. The vowel in Darroll reflects a phonetic respelling alongside Carroll, yielding a rarer form that preserves the same root. Folk association with English "darling" has also lent a secondary sense of "beloved," though the primary origin remains toponymic.

Usage has been most visible in the United States and Canada, with modest mid-20th-century peaks and decline to rarity today. Common variants include Darrell, Darrel, Darryl, Daryl, Daryll, and Darrol; unisex or feminine forms appear as Daryl/Daryll. Related names by influence include Darold and Carroll. Meaning: "from Airelle" (byplace), with a later affectionate overtone.
