Meanings

Darren is a masculine given name of uncertain etymological origins. Some theories state that it originated from an Anglicisation of the Irish first name Darragh or Dáire, meaning "oak tree". According to other theories, it is a variant of Darrell, which originated from the French surname D'Airelle, meaning "of Airelle". The common spelling of Darren is found in the Welsh language, meaning "edge": Black Darren and Red Darren are found on the eastern side of the Hatterrall Ridge, west of Long Town. Darren has several spelling variations including: Daren, Darin, Daryn, Darrin and Darryn.
In the United Kingdom, its popularity peaked during the 1970s but declined sharply afterwards.
The name was "first brought to public attention" in the English-speaking world in the late 1950s by American actor Darren McGavin. "It was further popularised in the 1960s by the character Darrin Stephens, from the television show Bewitched."
The name Darren can be found in Half Man Half Biscuit song 'Totnes Bickering Fair' in the line of lyrics; "Not long now before lollipop men are called Darren".

In Gaelic, means: great. Burnt land; hill. A great man, a gift of God.
