Darian is a modern masculine name of mixed origins certain to captivate and enthrall. Darian is believed to be a form of the names Darren, Darius, and Dorian, lending a worldly title to your adventurous little one. As a form of Darren, Darian may mean “oak tree” from the Irish Darragh or “huckleberry” from the French d’Airelle. Darian takes on the joyful meaning of “gift” from Greek Dorian for the long-awaited treasure making their presence known. From Persian Darius, Darian can be translated as "one who possesses or maintains the well." Linked to a lineage of Persian kings—most notably Darius the Great—it is easy to see why many associate Darian with wealth and regal prestige. Far from the lure of material value, Darian teaches baby the enduring worth of integrity and honor.
