Comments for DARIUS:

I think the name "Darus" is probably related to Darius. Of course the only place I've heard the name was my maternal grandfather, Darus Ames Guy, and one of my cousins.

The only Darius that comes to mind is Darius Danesh, who was turned away from Pop Idol, to return again the following year (with less hair) and became a hit! (For a while anyway)

French composer Darius Milhaud. (Incidentally, there is no truth to the story that his real name was Marius Dilhaud.)

It is a Persian name coming from "Dariush" who was a great Persian king that invaded Greece. Your information is wrong, it was not Dariush who was defeated at Marathon but his son Xerxes, please change that!

Also, this name has Persian origins and got into Europe by Romans who later translated Persian Wars into Latin.

The forces of Darius were defeated at Marathon; the navy of Xerxes I was defeated at Salamis.

It's my name :) I like it. It's not very rare where I live but quite unusual.
