Daryl is English in Origin.
Daryl is an English given name that began as a transferred surname, from Darrell/Darell, borne by a Norman family “de Airelle,” meaning “from Airelle” in Normandy. Though the place-name’s root is debated, modern French airelle means bilberry, inspiring a pleasant nature inflection in modern interpretations. A folk association with English dear/darling has also encouraged the sense of “beloved,” though this is secondary.
The name gained currency in the late 19th to early 20th century and climbed in mid-century American and British usage, with peak popularity in the 1960s–70s. It is genuinely unisex, boosted for girls by actress Daryl Hannah, and familiar for men via singer Daryl Hall and the fictional Daryl/Darryl characters such as Daryl Dixon. Variants include Darryl, Darrell, Darrel, Daryll, and Daryle; short forms include Dar. Common pronunciations are DARE-əl and DAR-əl.
