From Darley to Daughtry
Daugherty is the most common name in this section. The name is of Irish origins and I will cover Irish names in a separate list.
Instead, I’ll look here at Darling whose English origins are from the Middle English for “beloved one”.
Darnell has similar census numbers and it’s a little more interesting. The meaning comes from the Middle English word for a type of grassy weed that looks similar to wheat.
It may have been given to people who lived or worked on farms that grew wheat. No, that’s not particularly interesting.
But Darnell can be infected by a fungus that induces a drunken nausea in people who eat it. This can be lethal.
So, the name may have been conferred on drunkards.
