History & Origin
Daril is a pared-down spelling of Darrell, an aristocratic Norman surname from d'Airelle, 'of Airelle,' a place in Normandy. Brought to England after the Conquest, Darrell became a widely used American first name at mid-century, and Daril is one of its simpler phonetic forms.
Daril was always uncommon, given to only about fourteen boys a year at its mid-1960s peak and first appearing back in the 1930s. A man named Daril then is in his late fifties today; the name shares the smooth mid-century sound of Darrell and Daryl.
