Deryll is English in Origin.

Deryll is a modern English given name, a stylistic variant of Darrell/Daryl, which trace back to the medieval English surname Darrell. That surname derives from the Norman French locative d’Airel, indicating origin from the place called Airel in Normandy; the sense is essentially “from Airel.” The pronunciation typically mirrors Daryl: DAIR-əl.

As a given name it began to circulate in the late 19th and especially the 20th century, when surname-derived first names rose in popularity across the English-speaking world, with strongest use in the United States. Usage has been predominantly masculine, though the broader Daryl/Darryl family is often unisex. Common variants and spellings include Darrell, Darrel, Derrell, Daryl, Darryl, Deryl, and Derryl; short forms like Dar or Derry also appear. The meaning remains geographic rather than descriptive, linking bearers to a Norman toponym rather than a lexical word.
