With 80s 🧜🏼♀️Splash actress Daryl Hannah recent resurfacing in the news — I will be discussing her very out of the ordinary 🦄 name for a woman: 📛Daryl
📛Nameberry🍒 bluntly gives credit, "actress Daryl Hannah made this a girls' name in theory." Adding, "though in the most recent year counted, about 75 baby boys in the US were named Daryl...and zero baby girls." Daryl as a girl's name ranks #959 in the US Top 1000 while Daryl as a boy's name ranks at #946.
📛NB🍒 says, Daryl is a variation of the French 📛Darrell and means, "dear one, beloved." Behind the Name details Darrell as, "from an English surname that was derived from Norman French d'Airelle, originally denoting one who came from Airelle in France."
In the U.S. Daryl is used as a girl's name 7% of the time — most Daryls live in 📍California and 📍South Dakota.
I think 🤔 I like the name 📛Daryl for a 💗girl or 💙boy equally... although a girl named Daryl is definitely more different a little cooler. 😎 In the case of Daryl Hannah's name, it tickles me 😄 because her name should be the opposite (a la 📛Michael Michelle) — 📛Hannah Daryl (📛Daryl is also a surname). Her middle name is 📛Christine. But Christine Hannah does not make a splash💦 like Daryl Hannah does.
