Darwyn is an uncommon, yet distinctive given name of Welsh origin. It is derived from the ancient Welsh name "Dafydd," which means "beloved" or " dear." Darwyn was likely a variant spelling used in earlier times to distinguish it from other forms such as Dafydd and Davy. Today, it is occasionally used as an alternative to more common names like David or even as a unisex option due to its unique sound.
The name Darwyn experienced a significant peak in popularity between 1935 and 1965, with the highest number of births occurring in 1935 (67) and 1959 (19). However, it seems to have been less favored during other periods, as shown by several years with fewer than five births each. The total number of recorded births for this name is 736 over the given timeframe.
