Dagnis is Latvian in Origin.
Dagnis is a Latvian masculine given name, generally linked to the Old Norse root dagr “day” and viewed as the masculine counterpart to regional feminine forms like Dagny and Dagne. In Latvian usage it is usually interpreted as “day,” “daylight,” or poetically “new day,” with the -is ending marking a standard masculine form. The name sits within a broader Baltic–Nordic naming network where ideas of light, dawn, and renewal are central.
Its use in Latvia is modern and relatively uncommon, gaining visibility in the 20th century amid renewed interest in Balticized forms of Nordic names. Related or cognate variants include Dagne and Dagnija (Latvian feminine), Dagnė (Lithuanian feminine), Dagny (Scandinavian feminine), and Dag (Scandinavian masculine). Latvian affectionate forms may appear as Dagniņš or Dagnītis. The name appeals to parents seeking a succinct, luminous meaning with cross-cultural resonance.
