Daryll
Boy name · 52 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Daryll: 52 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 8 births in 1990.
A modern spelling of Darrell, this name has Norman French roots, derived from the place-name Airelle in Calvados, Normandy, meaning "open space" or "clearing." Alternatively, it may echo the Old English *deorling* (darling). Notable bearers include South African cricketer Daryll Cullinan, known for his elegant batting, and British sprinter Daryll Neita, an Olympic and European medalist in the 4×100 metres relay. A less common spelling than Darryl or Daryl, it shares its sound with the county of Derry in Ireland, though that name has a separate Gaelic origin. In Scottish records, Daryll has appeared sporadically since the 1970s, often chosen for its smooth, slightly modern twist on a classic surname-turned-first-name.
