Darling or beloved one
Darell is a variant of Darrell, which originated from the Norman-French surname d'Airelle, originally denoting someone from Airelle in France. It later became associated with the English word 'dear' or 'darling'. While popular in the mid-20th century, this spelling is now a rare choice for parents seeking a vintage feel.
