History & Origin

Diron shadowed a trend. As Darren and Deron spread through the nineteen-sixties and seventies, this spelling took a small share and reached its slim high around 1974.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year at most, and it thinned out by the twenty-tens. A boy named Diron at that peak would be about fifty today. The spelling reads as a personal variant rather than a rooted name.

Did you know? Darren rose sharply in mid-century America partly through television, yet its roots are unsettled, variously linked to an Irish surname or loosely glossed as great, and Diron simply reworks that sound.
