Can anyone translate my name into latin. My name is Darryl?

Answer 1

What does Darryl mean? You wouldn't translate the name, just the meaning. However, a Roman might have pronounced your name as Darrylis. (Roll the r twice as long, the a is short, like ah, and the y is pronounced like a cross between ooh and ee.)

Answer 2

Try Darelus, Darielus, Darrielus or Darrylius.

There is no equivalent of your name in Classical Latin since it is a Middle English name derived from Norman French d'Airelle. Airelle is a town in Normandy.

However, it is possible to put your name in a Medieval Latin form much like Ronaldus for "Ronald." Some of Ronald Reagan's admirers refer to him as "Ronaldus Magnus" or Ronald the Great.

This is a take off on Carolus Magnus, or Charles the Great, the Latinized name of the famous Frankish king Charlemagne (in German Karl der Grosse)..

Sometimes there was no "one way " to translate a name or a neologism into Medieval Latin. It may have depended upon the monk or the scholar and whether he lived in Ireland, England, France, Germany or Italy.

So... for your name, you actually have several choices. I think the best ones would be: Darelus, Darielus, Darrielus or Darrylius.

Answer 3

Darryl is from the French name Airelle. It means open. In Latin that would be patefacio, expositus, directus. Try making a name out of that.

Answer 4

You can't really translate it into Latin. Your name is Americanized. Popular Latin names back then would be like Quartus, Felix, Caecilius, Metella, Clemens, Marcus, Quintus, Grumio, Iulius.
