Derrol is English in Origin.

Derrol is a rare English given name best understood as a spelling variant of Darrell/Darryl, a surname-turned-forename brought to Britain by the Normans. The root is the Norman French locative d’Airel, “of Airel,” referring to the commune of Airel in Normandy; as a given name it thus carries the sense “from Airel.” The -ol ending in Derrol likely reflects 20th‑century phonetic reshaping alongside parallel names such as Errol and Daryl.

Used as a first name in the English-speaking world from the late 19th century via the more common Darrell, Derrol itself surfaces occasionally in mid‑20th‑century U.S. and Canadian records and remains uncommon today. Close variants include Darrell, Darrel, Darryl, Daryl, Daryll, Derrill, Derrell, and Darel; nicknames sometimes seen are Dar and Derry. No widely established feminine or non-English form exists beyond the unisex use of Daryl/Darryl.
