Answer:
Yes, 'Daroch' is a
Scottish name. It is listed in Black's Surnames of Scotland. Variant
spellings of the name are: Darroch, Daroch, Darragh, Durroch.
The earliest
written references to the name are in 15th century Stirling, however, the name
appears throughout Scotland. The origins of the name vary - in Stirling the name
is taken from the place named Darroch in Falkirk; it may derive from the Gaelic
for 'oak'; in the West Highlands it is said that the name is from 'Dath
riabhach', a contraction of 'Mac 'Ille riabhach'.
