Darin Origin and Meaning

The name Darin is a girl's name.

Darin as a feminine name represents an interesting gender crossover from its more common masculine usage. With Germanic origins meaning 'gift' or possibly derived from the Irish surname Ó Dálaigh meaning 'descendant of Dalach,' this name has developed unique feminine appeal. While predominantly used for boys in most cultures, its soft sounds and -in ending (similar to feminine names like Erin or Carin) have made it appealing for girls in some communities. As a feminine name, Darin remains quite uncommon, giving it a distinctive quality. The name carries connotations of strength and individuality when used for girls, often appealing to parents seeking gender-neutral options or unique alternatives to more traditional feminine names. Its rarity for girls offers a refreshing uniqueness.
