ArchivesRe: What popularised the masculine name Derl in 1929/30 in the USA?
in reply to a message by elbowin
From what I could find, Derl seems to be another spelling of Darrell. Since Darrell was a popular name around that time it might explain why there was a spike in Derl- it's riding on the coattails of Darrell, but that's just a guess on my part. I couldn't say for sure.
