A name of Persian origin meaning 'wealthy' or 'one who possesses good things,' historically famous from Persian kings.
From Old Persian 'Dārayavahuš', composed of 'dāra' (to hold, possess) + 'vahu' (good), originating with ancient Persian royalty around 500 BCE.
Darius was the name of multiple Persian emperors who ruled vast empires, so naming a child Darius was literally naming them after kings—which is why you'll see it in fantasy books and games about powerful rulers.
