Derron
Derron Origin and Meaning
Derron is typically a masculine name, though classified as feminine in this instance. It originated as a variant of Darren, which comes from the Irish surname Ó Darragh, meaning 'descendant of Daire' (wealthy or fruitful). The altered spelling with 'e' and double 'r' gives it a distinctive appearance while maintaining similar pronunciation. Derron emerged in the mid-20th century when variant spellings became fashionable but has remained relatively uncommon compared to Darren, which peaked in popularity during the 1960s-1970s. The name carries a modern sound while retaining traditional roots. As a given name for females, it would be extremely rare, representing the modern trend toward gender-neutral naming. Its strong consonants and clean syllabic structure give it a contemporary feel regardless of gender association.
