Historical Context
Jarius is used chiefly as a modern English-language given name, particularly in the United States. The exact route by which this spelling developed is unclear. It may have been influenced by Jairus, the New Testament name linked with the Hebrew name Yair, or by Darius, an ancient Persian royal name.
