Yeah, you can find it in the first light novel. Narita likes to leave thoughts and facts about his writing in his books. His editor thought 'Durarara' looked humourously stupid written out in English, and he apparently likes ambiguous titles, so they agreed to it. Plenty of people think it's based on 'Dollars' or 'Dullahan,' but Narita never mentions why those sounds occurred to him then, just that the word 'Durarara' holds no real meaning, so those rumours are untrue.
