Out of the blue. Made it up in '84 for the character name for the Ultima 4
computer game. Been using it since for various things - bbs logins, AOL
account, etc. etc.
It's only later that I found out that darious is the Westernization
(probably through France - stupid pointless silent letters) of Darius - the
line of Persian kings who ended when Alexander jackbooted Darius III across
the Med.
