Comments for the name Darian

"Darian" is a male name also used in Bulgaria. Its meaning in this country is connected with the Bulgarian word "dar", which means "gift", and because Jesus Christ is "a Gift of God", in Bulgaria "Darian" and the other names beginning with "dar", have a nameday on 25th December.

I have seen this name listed as English, Gaelic meaning small great one.

Have also seen the spelling Darrion and I like it much better.

Darian is a great name for a boy. I love the sound of this name. I don't mind it for boy or girl but lean towards a boy with this name.

I love this name. It's also my son's name. It can be for both girl or boy but I think it sounds more like a boys name.

I love the name Darian! I named my daughter after this name but with my own spelling. Daryian. It's totally original just like her. Plus gives it more of a girly flare. :)

I love this name, especially spelled 'Darien.'

This name should be used for males only, especially if pronounced ''DER-ee-an'' rather than ''DAHR-ee-an''. Daria is feminine, Darian is masculine. This is how it has worked with names like Brenna and Brennan, Brenda and Brendan, Trista and Tristan, Eva and Evan, Julia and Julian, and many more. It's become a cultural expectation.

Pronounced DAHR-yahn.

DAHR-yahn would most likely be a Slavic pronunciation of the name.

I think it sounds pretty cool, but it's made up so I probably wouldn't use it.

I think it derives from Darius, the same way Julian derives from Julius.
