History & Origin
Dariann is a modern feminine name, a spelling of Darian and Darrian. Parents most often read it either as a feminine of Darius, from Old Persian Darayavaush, 'he who holds firm the good,' or as a blend of a Dari- sound with the -ann ending. It appears in United States records from the early nineteen-nineties, with an early-decade high. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year, and its route is mixed.
A girl named Dariann from that time would be in her thirties now. The name reads as a late-century unisex-leaning pick given a feminine finish; the Darian and Daryan spellings are more familiar, and Dariann stays rare.
