Derrall is English in Origin.

Derrall is a rare modern English given name, a spelling variant of Darrell/Derrell, which began as a Norman French surname, d’Airelle. The surname meant “of Airelle,” pointing to a place in Normandy; its sense is toponymic rather than descriptive. In the 20th century, the related forename Daryl/Darryl nudged popular perception toward the affectionate English word “dear/darling,” but the historical root remains the locative “from Airelle.” Usual pronunciation is DER-əl or DARE-əl.

As a forename, forms of Darrell appear in English records from the 18th–19th centuries and rose sharply in the United States after the 1930s. Derrall surfaces in mid‑century usage but has always been uncommon. Close variants include Darrell, Darrel, Derrell, Derrel, Daryl, Darryl, Derryl, Daryll, and Darel; Daryl functions as a unisex form.
