The darius Surname
darius Name Meaning and History
French: from the Late Latin personal name Darius, Greek
Dareios, which was borne by various kings of ancient Persia,
including Darius I (522–486 bc). The ancient Persian form
of the name was Darayavahush, meaning ‘possessor’, from
daraya(miy) ‘possess’, ‘maintain’ + vahu ‘good’,
‘well’. This became accepted as a Christian name in medieval Europe in
honor of a saint martyred at Nicaea at an uncertain date.
