History & Origin
Jadarrius is a modern American boys' coinage pairing the Ja- prefix with Darrius, a spelling of the Persian royal name Darius, 'holding firm to good.' It appears in United States records from around 1992 and reached its small high near 1999. Given to only a couple dozen boys a year, it stayed rare.
A boy named Jadarrius near that late-nineties high is an adult today, part of the prefixed-coinage generation. It is a fresh invention rather than a revival, but the Darius root gives it a genuine, dignified meaning that many parents may not realize is there.
