Darion is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Darion is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 boys have been named Darion. In the SmartGenius ranking, Darion is #1,733 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Darion.
Darion is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Darion - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 442 in 1994. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this boys' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Darion really in tune with his generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Darion was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
43 babies were named Darion in 2022 - that's 1 in 3,754,093 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Darion ranked 2,567 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
You may not know anyone named Darion, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 32 states are home to men and boys named Darion. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few men and boys named Darion living in one state or another. If your name is Darion and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Missouri, which has the most people named Darion relative to the population, you still have to ask 12,224 men and boys their names before you hear Darion as an answer just once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter D is a quite popular first letter for boys’ names. That’s because 8.5% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters J and A are more common for boys' names.
With six letters, the name Darion is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Therefore: As 8.5% of all boys' names start with a D, this initial letter occurs nearly 2.5-times as often as all 26 letters on average – and the most common one of all the boys’ names starting with D is David.
If your name is Darion and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
