Danikiah is in Origin.

Danikiah is a modern, inventive given name found mainly in English-speaking countries. It appears to fuse the familiar Dani- (from Daniel/Danielle or the Slavic-rooted Danika) with the -kiah/-iah ending seen in Hebrew theophoric names such as Hezekiah and Zedekiah, where -iah reflects the divine name Yah. The result carries a contemporary, lyrical profile while nodding to older naming traditions.

Usage is recent and rare, with sporadic 21st-century records, often chosen by parents seeking a distinctive, faith-tinged alternative to Danika or Daniyah. Possible spellings and relatives include Danika, Danica, Danikia, Danikya, Daniyah, and Daniah; related biblical forms include Hezekiah and Zedekiah. As a blended name, meanings are interpretive: from Daniel it can suggest "God is my judge," while association with Danica/Danika evokes "morning star." Kiah is also used independently as a short form of Keziah or Hezekiah.
