About Darrion
Darrion is a masculine given name that appears to be a modern variant of Darius or Darren. The name Darius has ancient Persian origins, referring to several kings of the Persian Empire, and means 'possessor of good' or 'maintainer.' Darren, meanwhile, has Irish Gaelic origins from 'Darragh' meaning 'oak tree.' The '-ion' suffix in Darrion gives the name a contemporary sound while maintaining connections to these older names. Usage records show Darrion emerging in the United States primarily in the 1980s and 1990s, following a broader trend of adapting traditional names with varied spellings and endings. While never among the most popular names, Darrion has maintained a steady presence in naming patterns, particularly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Darrion is also given to girls.
Pronounced DAIR-ee-un.
As of October 2026, Darrion ranked #4741 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #702 in 1994.
