What is the meaning of the name Danila ?

The baby name Danila is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced da-NEE-lah (approx. /dɐˈnilə/; Italian: /daˈniːla/).

Danila is Slavic in Origin.

Danila is a Slavic given name derived from the Hebrew Daniyyel, meaning “God is my judge.” In Russian and other East Slavic languages it is a common masculine form alongside Daniil and Danil; in Italian and Portuguese it appears as a feminine name, used beside Daniela or as the feminine of Danilo. The Latin spelling is consistent, though stress and gender vary.

Attested in medieval Rus’, Danila remained in vernacular use and folklore - well known from Pavel Bazhov’s Ural tale of the craftsman Danila - then saw renewed popularity from the late 20th century in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. Related forms include Daniel (international), Danylo (Ukrainian), Danilo (South Slavic/Italian), Daniele (Italian masc.), Daniil/Danil (Russian), and Daniela/Danila (fem.). Nicknames and diminutives include Danya, Danik, Danilka, and Dan; the name carries the enduring biblical sense of divine judgment and personal integrity.
