About the name Darlane
The origin of Darlane is uncertain. The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) describes the ending -lane, found in Edilane, Gislane and Marilane, as of uncertain origin, perhaps from the English name Lanie or from the French suffix -ane with a linking -l-. The name resembles Darlene, which Behind the Name explains through the English darling with the suffix lene, but no source links the two spellings. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,976 people named Darlane, with a median age of 27.
