Darrell

Darrell is a boy's and girl's baby name of Old French origin, from the surname d'Airelle, referring to someone from Airelle in Normandy — the place name meaning 'open space' or 'clearing.'

Darrell landed in the U.S. top 100 boys' names during the 1950s and 1960s. NASCAR driver Darrell Waltrip and actor Darrell Hammond represent the name's American everyman appeal. The variant spelling Daryl — as in Daryl Hannah or Daryl Hall — shows its adaptability across different styles.
