Darbee

With those wide, curious eyes and a heart full of innocence, baby Darbee may remind you of a Bambi-like deer discovering the world around them. Darbee is a feminine take on the gender-neutral Darby, originating from the British city of Derby and the county of Derbyshire. It finds its origins in Old English Deorby, "deer village," from deor "deer" or Old Norse djúr  being "animal." The village aspect of “deer village” is found in Darbee’s finishing element, which comes from by "habitation, homestead" in Old Norse or Old Danish’s bi or byr, meaning "town," "village," or “where people dwell." This habitational name was even recorded in the Domesday Book where it translates to "farmstead or village where deer are kept." Darbee may also have connections to the Irish Darby, which is derived from the surname Mac Diarmada, which means "son of Diarmuid" or "son of Dermot." Your little Darbee will always know that home is where the heart is, no matter where they might roam in their life.
