Darth
In the fictional Star Wars universe, Darth precedes the title of a Sith Lord. The origin of the name most likely comes from the Dutch word for Dark. Darth Vader, the first Sith introduced in the original Star Wars trilogy of movies, could be roughly translated to Dutch as Dark Father, which defines his character.
Since the popularity of Star Wars, the term Darth has really entered the popular lexicon as a term for evil. Most references are still associated with the Star Wars universe.
