It has NOTHING to do with Daria... Daria is Persian, Darina is Slavic; Daria is [DA-rya], Darina is [da-REE-nuh]. That's like comparing Maria and Marina - completely different names.

Darina and Daria are variants of the masculine name Darius. Darina/Daria were used first for girls at family of kings of Persia.

"Darina" is also a Bulgarian female name. Its meaning is connected with the Bulgarian word "dar", which means "gift", and because Jesus Christ is "a Gift of God", in Bulgaria "Darina" and the other names beginning with "dar", have a nameday on 25th December.
