Danell is English in Origin.
Danell is a modern English given name, generally viewed as a streamlined variant of Danelle/Danielle, the French feminine form of Daniel. Ultimately it derives from Hebrew Daniyyel, meaning "God is my judge." In North America the spelling Danell appears from the mid-20th century onward, part of a trend toward respellings and clipped forms; it also overlaps with Scandinavian and English surnames derived from Daniel, which has encouraged occasional male use.
The name functions as unisex today. Notable bearer Danell Leyva, the Cuban-American gymnast, illustrates the masculine side, while many U.S. records show Danell as a feminine alternative to Danielle. Common nicknames include Dan, Dani, Nell, Nelle, and Elle. Close variants and cognates are Dannell, Dannel, Danelle, Danella, Danielle, Daniela, and Daniella; the root family spans countless languages through Daniel. Meaning across all forms remains consistent: "God is my judge."
