Daryush is Persian in Origin.
Daryush is the modern Persian form of an ancient Iranian royal name, from Old Persian Dārayavahuš (Dārayava(h)uš). It combines dāraya- “to hold, possess” with vahu- “good, excellence,” yielding the sense “holder of the good,” often glossed as “upholder of goodness” or “possessor of virtue or benefit.” Via Middle Persian, the name passed into New Persian as Dariush/Daryush.
Borne by several Achaemenid kings, most famously Darius I the Great, the name spread into the classical world as Greek Dareios and Latin Darius, and appears in the Bible, aiding its later European use. Modern variants and spellings include Dariush, Daryoush, and Daryoosh; cognates are Darius (English), Dario/Darío (Italian/Spanish), Dário (Portuguese), and Dariusz (Polish). Related feminine forms include Daria. In Iran and the diaspora, Daryush remains a dignified, well-recognized given name.
