"Darling" comes from the Old English "deore" which meant "precious, valuable, costly, loved," from West Germanic "deurjaz"and the Old English adverb use of gradational variant of "lang" which meant "long". So "deorelang" (darling) meant a "loved long" or "long loved".
"Minion" is 16th century variant on the Old French "mignot" which originally meant "dainty" but came to mean "dainty, pleasing, favorite", again after the 16th century.
So I'm not sure this post may be considered entirely accurate.
