The first name 
Darolyn

Darolyn is a first name for girls.

Darolyn – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Darolyn has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Darolyn. That means that a girl named Darolyn is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Darolyn.

at home in
