Darsh is Sanskrit in Origin.

Darsh is an Indian given name derived from Sanskrit darśa and the verbal root dṛś, “to see.” In classical usage, darśa means “sight” or “view,” and is closely related to darśana, the auspicious act of beholding a deity or teacher. As a personal name, Darsh carries meanings such as “vision,” “auspicious sight,” and by extension “one who is perceptive” or “worthy to be seen,” echoing the adjective darśanīya (“handsome, admirable”). The name is typically masculine in modern usage, though related forms span genders.

While the underlying words are ancient - appearing in Vedic Sanskrit texts - the adoption of Darsh as a standalone given name rose in the late 20th century in India and among the diaspora. Common variants and cognates include Darshan (masculine), Darshana (feminine/unisex), and the rarer Darsha. Spellings follow regional pronunciation and transliteration from Devanagari (दर्श), with Darsh also used as a short form of Darshan.
