Hi,
My name is Derith also, and I've always wondered where it came from. I was named after a friend of my mother's, so I have no idea where or how someone came up with it. If you ever do find out any information on it could you please email i to me? My email address is xoxderithxox@yahoo.com. Thanks!-Derith

My names book & some online research suggest that "Derith" is a variation of "Derryth", a Welsh feminine name meaning "Of the Oak" or "Belonging to the Oak". :-)
