Dariel
Meaning of Dariel
Dariel is a modern male given name that weaves Latin and Hebrew threads: it pairs the Spanish-Italian form of Dario—ultimately from the ancient Persian “Dareios,” meaning “upholder of good”—with the resonant Hebrew suffix “-el,” signifying “of God.” The result is a succinct, two-syllable choice, pronounced dah-RYEL across Romance languages, that feels both continental and quietly spiritual. In many Caribbean and Latin American communities, Dariel carries the easy rhythm of salsa lyrics and the determined edge of baseball diamonds, associations that have helped the name travel north. U.S. birth data reflect that momentum: after hovering in the 700s for decades, Dariel climbed to No. 325 in 2024, nearly doubling its annual births since 2020. For parents seeking a name that balances global flair, a hint of faith, and a crisp, modern sound, Dariel checks each box with economical style.
