Daganit is Hebrew in Origin.

Daganit (Hebrew: דגנית, often transliterated Dganit) is a modern Hebrew feminine name formed from dagan, “grain; cereals,” plus the productive feminine suffix -it. The meaning evokes harvest, abundance, and cultivated fields - “of the grain” or “grain maiden.” The noun dagan appears frequently in the Hebrew Bible to denote agricultural produce; while the ancient deity Dagon is sometimes referenced in scholarship, the given name Daganit in contemporary Hebrew is derived from the common noun, not the theonym.

As a personal name, Daganit came to prominence in 20th‑century Israel, aligning with agrarian and nature-inspired naming trends associated with the Zionist revival and kibbutz culture. Variants and spellings include Dganit (the most common Israeli form), Daganit, and Daganith. The masculine counterpart is Dagan, and the related family name Dagan is well established in Hebrew-speaking communities. Usage remains strongest in Israel, with moderate recognition in the Jewish diaspora.
