"Some historians believe Darth is a contraction of dark and Sith, while others suggest it was a corruption of daritha, an ancient Rakatan word for 'emperor.' In any event, the honorific Darth was introduced to the Sith Lords."
―Darth Sidious teaches Maul the history of the Sith[1]

Daritha was a Rakata word that meant emperor. It was believed by many that the Sith title Darth stemmed from this word.[2] The Cronese language adopted the word after the fall of the Rakatan Infinite Empire, and Daritha came to mean Ruler of Worlds[3] and it was taken as a title by the Human Xim the Despot.[4]
