The story I have heard is that in england, someone looked at the cuff and thought it looked like the letter "D", which it sort of does. The english slang word for the letter D was darby, hence the name darby handcuffs. Why they would have a slang term for a letter is beyond me, but that is what i have heard the most. Regards,
