The darling Surname
darling Name Meaning and History
English and Scottish: from Middle English derling, Old
English deorling ‘darling’, ‘beloved one’, a derivative of
deor ‘dear’, ‘beloved’ (see Dear 1). This was quite a
common Old English byname, which remained current as a personal name
into the 14th century. The surname probably derives at least in part
from this use, probably in part also from a Middle English nickname.
