Dariel

Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Dariel: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2024.

Dariel is most often considered a modern variant of Darius, which traces back to the Old Persian name Dārayavahush, meaning “possessor of goodness” or “upholding the good.” While not a traditional Scottish name, it has gained some use as a creative alternative to Daryl or Darian, and may also draw from the Hebrew name Ariel, giving it a melodic, contemporary feel. No widely known historical or cultural figures bear the name Dariel, nor are there prominent place connections. Its appeal lies in its rarity and gentle, flowing sound, offering parents a distinctive choice that still feels familiar.
