History & Origin

Darianna is a modern elaboration of Daria — the feminine of Darius, from Old Persian Darayavahush, 'possessor, holder of the good' — finished with the lyrical -anna of Arianna and Julianna. Regal at root, romantic in shape.

It registers thinly in recent records. Rare, possessor-of-good at the root, and flowingly modern.

Did you know? Daria, the heart of Darianna, was borne by an early Christian martyr-saint and descends from Darius the Great, the Persian king whose name meant 'holding firm the good'.
