Dairuin's name is never explicitly explained. It seems to contain elements that could be interpreted as 'shadow flame', though if this is correct, the significance of such a striking image remains unknown. The -ruin element, literally 'red flame', may actually be a family signifier, since there was another member of the same outlaw group named Radhruin, whose naming order among the group implies that he may have been Dairuin's brother.
