Darbie Origin and Meaning

The name Darbie is a girl's name.

Darbie is a feminine name that serves as a variant spelling of Darby, which originated as an Irish and English surname derived from place names meaning 'deer town' or 'settlement with deer.' This alternative spelling with an 'ie' ending gives the name a distinctly feminine touch compared to the more gender-neutral traditional spelling. Darbie has a playful, friendly quality that maintains its connection to nature through its etymological ties to deer – animals often associated with gentleness and grace. While not among the most common given names, Darbie has a casual charm and accessibility that appeals to parents seeking something familiar yet not overused. The name gained some recognition through pop culture references, including variations of the name used for the popular Barbie doll's friends.
