Darryle is English in Origin.
Darryle is a modern English given name, a spelling variant of Darryl/Daryl, which trace back to medieval surname Darrell. That surname comes from Norman French d'Airelle, indicating origin from the place Airelle in Normandy; it’s often glossed "from Airelle." Folk etymology sometimes links it to French airelle "huckleberry," but the given-name tradition follows the locative sense.
In Anglophone usage, Darrell and its offshoots entered as transferred surnames in the 18th-19th centuries, with popularity climbing in the mid-20th century; Darryle is the least common of the main spellings and appears chiefly in the United States from the 1950s onward. The cluster spans masculine-leaning Darryl, Darrell, Darrel, Darryll and rarer Daryle/Darryle, alongside unisex Daryl (borne by both men and women). Short forms include Dar and Daz, with nicknames overlapping across spellings. Contemporary use has waned since the 1990s, lending Darryle a vintage, distinctive feel while remaining transparent to English speakers.
