Darrah Origin and Meaning

The name Darrah is a girl's name.

Darrah is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be an anglicized form of the Irish name Dara, meaning "oak tree" or "wisdom," symbolizing strength and endurance. Alternatively, it could be a variant spelling of Dara or Darragh, names used for both genders in Irish culture. Some sources suggest it might also be a variation of the Hebrew name Dara, meaning "pearl of wisdom." Darrah emerged in the United States during the 20th century but has remained relatively uncommon, never breaking into the top 1000 popular names.

People named Darrah are often perceived as having strong, independent personalities.
