ArchivesRe: Alternate origin for Darlene
in reply to a message by Shaymin
dér in Hungarian means "hoarfrost" and len means "flax." Not sure if that was the original intention though.

A quick search brings up "dara" meaning "semolina" in Hungarian.
I'm wondering if perhaps we're dealing with an elaboration or a name involving a "Dara-" stem, or a combination of Daria and the "lena" ending (Daralena or Darialena). This is of course assuming that the Hungarian Darlene is recorded accurately and is not a corruption of another name.
