Darren m
English: recently coined name of uncertain derivation. It may well have been an arbitrary coinage, or from a surname (of obscure origin). It seems to have been first borne by the American actor Darren McGavin (b. 1922). It came to the attention of the public as the name of a character in the popular American television comedy series Bewitched (made in the 1960s). In the spelling Darin, it is associated with the singer Bobby Darin (1936–73), who was originally called Walden Robert Cassotto and who chose the name he made famous from a telephone directory.
