Darrin is an American given name, of Scottish origin, meaning 'little oak tree'. It was popularized in the United States during the mid-20th century, often appearing as a variant spelling of Darin or Darron. The name gained significant recognition through its use by characters in popular culture, such as Darrin Stephens from the television series Bewitched (1964-1972), played initially by Dick York and later Dick Sargent.
The name Darrin had a peak of popularity between 1964 and 1968 with a significant spike in births in 1965. After that period, its usage declined steadily until the late 1980s when it saw a slight resurgence. Overall, there were 132 babies named Darrin from 1959 to 1995.
