History & Origin

Dariyon is a respelled form of Darion, itself an extended, American take on Darius. Darius descends from the Old Persian Darayavahush, 'holding firm the good', borne by great kings of Persia. The Dariyon spelling gives that ancient royal name a contemporary look.

It stayed rare, only a handful of boys a year around its late-two-thousands peak, trailing the more common Darian and Darion. It belongs to the family of Dar- boys' names of that period.

Did you know? Behind the modern -yon spelling stands Darius, the name of the Persian king who faced the Greeks at Marathon - 'possessor of good' in Old Persian.
