Darrin Origin and Meaning

The name Darrin is a boy's name.

Darrin is a masculine name that originated as a variant of Darren, which itself derived from the Irish surname Ó Darragh, meaning "descendant of Daire" (from an Irish personal name meaning "oak tree" or "fertile"). This name gained significant popularity in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s, partly influenced by the character Darrin Stephens from the popular television show "Bewitched" (1964-1972). Darrin conveys a friendly, approachable quality with its soft consonants and familiar sound pattern. The name peaked in popularity during the mid-1960s but has gradually declined since then, now maintaining a classic yet not overly common status. Darrin strikes a balance between being recognizable and distinctive.
