Darie is Romanian in Origin.

Darie is a Romanian masculine given name descended from Latin Darius, via Greek Dareios, which renders Old Persian Dārayavahuš. The Persian elements dāraya- “to hold, possess” and vahu “good, well-being” yield the sense “holder of the good” or “he who upholds goodness.” The Romanian -ie ending reflects vernacular adaptation seen in other names and creates a softer, three-syllable form (DA-ree-eh).

In Romanian records Darie appears sporadically from the early modern period, sustained by classical and ecclesiastical transmission and occasionally revived in contemporary use. Related forms include Darius (Romanian/English), Dario (Italian), Darío (Spanish), Dariusz (Polish), Dareios (Greek), and Persian Dariush/Daryush; modern offshoots Darian and Darien also occur. Feminine cognates are Daria, Darya, and Dariia. Short forms such as Dari are used informally. As a given name, Darie remains rare and distinctive.
