it's german for 'dark father'...
yes, "Darth" is a variation of "dark," while "Vader" means "father." (The Dutch word for "father" is "vader," but is pronounced differently; the German "vater" has a closer pronunciation to the name.)

The name Darth Vader is actually based on Anglo-Saxon.
Darth is the anglo-saxon word for "Dark",and
Fadir is the anglo-saxon word for "Father"
In order to not give the secret away that Vader was Luke's father, and to make the name sound a little cooler, GL changed Fadir to Vader (they do sound alike).
So Darth Vader really means "Dark Father"
In real life: Darth Vader means Dark Father in dutch.
In Star Wars: Darth is the title of a Sith lord. Each Sith's name has to do with his former life.
Vader sounds like Evader, as Vader e-vaded detection while Anakin Skywalker was recruited. His mentor was Darth Sidious, who in-sideously infiltrated the highest levels of the republic's govenment. Darth Maul was a hateful champion fighter. Darth Tyrannus was an aged ex-Jedi.
