Darryn
Darryn Origin and Meaning
Darryn is a feminine name that originated as an alternate spelling of Darren or Darin, which come from an Anglicized form of the Irish surname Ó Daithí, meaning 'descendant of David.' While traditionally masculine, Darryn has seen some usage as a feminine name, particularly with this spelling variation. The 'y' in place of an 'e' or 'i' gives it a more contemporary, feminine feel. The name has a strong, confident sound that works well in professional settings. Darryn remains relatively uncommon for any gender, making it distinctive without being difficult to pronounce or spell. Parents might choose this name for a daughter to convey strength and individuality, while the unique spelling helps distinguish it from its masculine counterpart while maintaining its original sound and character.
