Posted by Claire It means "fruitful, fertile." The Brown Bull of Cooley (read the legend) was owned by Daire Mac Fiachna, and his refusal to sell his bull to Queen Maebh was part of the reason for the fight between the provinces of Ulster and Connacht (provinces inIreland, in case you dont know) At present it is a very popular name in Ireland It is often used as a girl's name with the spellings Daire and Dara.It is also tied in with the Irish for Oak Tree My nephew is Darragh. and his dad is a carpenter - hence why he got the name.

Darragh/ Daragh is most definitely an Irish/Gaelic name.
