Darla

Darla is a girl's and boy's baby name of Old English origin, a back-formation from Darlene, based on the English term of endearment darling, from the Old English deorling meaning "darling" or "dearly loved one."

With over 43,000 U.S. births recorded, Darla has been a cherished American name since the early 20th century. The mischievous Darla from the classic Little Rascals comedy series gave the name an endearing, spirited association that has kept it warm in American cultural memory for generations.
