What is the meaning of the name Danelle ?

The baby name Danelle is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /dəˈnɛl/ (duh-NEL).

Danelle is Hebrew in Origin.

Danelle is a modern English feminine given name, primarily a streamlined variant of Danielle, the French feminine form of Daniel. Daniel derives from Hebrew Daniyyel, meaning "God is my judge" (din "to judge" + El "God"). Danelle likely emerged in mid-20th century English-speaking countries as an alternative spelling that softens the French -ielle ending while retaining the core meaning.

Usage was modest in the United States from the 1960s through the 1990s, sometimes conflated with Danielle, Dana, or Danette; rarer in the UK but seen in Canada and Australia. Variants and related forms include Danielle, Danell, Danella, Danel, Daniele (French/Italian), Daniela and Daniella (Romance languages), and Danette; nicknames include Dani, Nell, and Elle. As with its counterparts, the name draws strength from the Book of Daniel and suits a wide range of surnames.
