Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Dario je talianska podoba mena Dárius. Jeho základom je staroperzské Dārayavauš, prevzaté do gréčtiny ako Dareîos a do latinčiny ako Darius. Spája slovesný základ dāraya- („držať, zachovávať“) s výrazom vau- („dobrý“); význam sa vykladá ako „ten, kto sa pevne drží dobra“.
