Darach
Darach Origin and Meaning
Darach, though listed as feminine here, is traditionally a masculine Scottish and Irish Gaelic name meaning 'oak tree' or 'from the oak.' It derives from the Gaelic word 'darach' referring to oak trees, which were considered sacred in Celtic cultures and symbolized strength, endurance, and wisdom. The name carries deep connections to Celtic heritage and nature. In Scotland, it may also be associated with Clan Darroch. While uncommon in mainstream usage, Darach has been gaining modest attention among parents seeking names with Celtic roots and natural meanings. Its strong sound and meaningful heritage make it appealing for those looking to honor Scottish or Irish ancestry. The pronunciation is typically DAR-akh, with a soft guttural sound at the end.
