if a hispanic child was named Darius, could that mean someone in the family could have african bloodlines?

Question

I ask people and they say they've never heard of any hispanic kids or men named Darius.
Someone brought this to my attention so don't criticize me for asking.
I've seen the kid in movies and he has certain features about him that make you suggest he might be half black. The way he carries himself and the way he says some of his words. To be honest, we in the black community, we have our own style and the way we pronounce certain words. Not all but we tend to stretch some of our words.

Answer 1

Well, Darius is a name from Persia, actual Iran, and Iran is not in Africa, is from Asia. It doesn't mean anything, Darius was a great figure in history, the biggest adversary for Alexander the Great, so anyone can name his baby Darius

Answer 2

Considering the name Darius is Greek I think your reasoning is way off.
I think parentage has more to do with genetics then what you name a child.
You might want to ask yourself why a childs race is so important to you.
You might also want to think about the way you stereotype other Afro Americans. You could consider how your remarks might come across as racist.
If you believe every black person talks the same maybe you need to give your head a shake or do some traveling in your own country.

Answer 3

a child's name doesn't equal bloodlines. Darius is not that uncommon of a name. If the child is hispanic he probably is not black at all. I have heard of white children named Rainbow and other strange names but that doesnt mean anything. As William Shakespear once wrote, "what is in a name? A rose by any other name would still be a rose." So that child by any other name would still be hispanic not black DUH. Names dont mean anything.

Answer 4

No that doesen't mean that at all. Could just be that they like the name. These days you could never tell, and why should it matter of what race you are, and what your name means if people could just look beyond that and look on the inside and not focus on the trivial things this world could be a better place rather your name be Darius or Christopher.

Answer 5

Not necessarily. The mother/father could just like the name. They don't have to be a specific race to have a certain name. I am Puerto Rican 100% and so is my husband. We named our daughter Megan. I just loved the name. I know that it is of Irish decent. It did not matter to me. By the way, we have a spanish version of the name Darius. Dario.

Answer 6

The fact is almost all names are chosen with some sort of cultural significance, but that doesn't always mean that it does. Some people just pick a name because they like the way it sounds. Although it is likely, it isn't guaranteed to predict bloodline.

Answer 7

Darius is a Persian name.

Three kings of the ancient Achaemenid Empire of Persia were name Darius

Answer 8

All hispanics have background from the african country for example Puerto Ricans originated from Africans, Indian's and Spanish.

Answer 9

Latinos come on all different colors. He could be Dominican, Peurto Rican, Portuguese etc. I have never had anyone mistake me for being Dominican, they have always put me down as African American. We originate from South America, my parents speak Spanish with broken English.

Answer 10

Well, I think it means that his mom liked the name Darius.
