Also used in Russia, Ukraine etc. Getting a bit more popular as an alternative to the extremely popular Darya.

Also Serbian. And in relation to the comment above, it has nothing to do with Darius or Persia. Dara, Darija, Darina, Darinka, Darislava, Darica, Darja, Darka, Daromira, Daromirka, Darosava, Daroslava are the names I know of that are made up of (whole or partially) from the noun "dar", meaning "gift". It is related to Ancient Greek "δῶρον" (doron) also meaning gift like in Theodora.
