Darnell is a one-of-a-kind name that is gender-neutral and originates from English. It comes from the word “derne halh,” meaning “hidden nook.” In the Middle Ages, this word was used to talk about a village that was hidden by nature. Because of this, the name Darnell makes me think of the English countryside, with its rolling hills, green fields, and leafy oak trees. This name may also come from a plant called darnel that was grown in the Middle Ages and was thought to have intoxicating qualities.
