History & Origin
Danarius is a modern American coinage joining the Da- prefix to a Latin-styled -arius ending, in the manner of Demarius and the old Persian-Greek Darius. Built by ear in the late twentieth century, it carries no single traditional meaning; its appeal is a formal, resonant rhythm, which we note honestly rather than assign a false root.
In the United States it stayed rare, given to only about fifteen boys a year even at its peak around 1995, with use into the twenty-tens. A man named Danarius then is in his early thirties today.
