Daniss is in Origin.

Daniss is a rare contemporary given name that likely arose as an alternative spelling drawing on several streams. One source is Dennis/Denis, the English and French form of Greek Dionysios, “follower of Dionysus.” Another is Danish/Dānish (Persian, Urdu), meaning “knowledge, wisdom,” with a Turkish parallel in Danış, “to consult; advise.” The doubled s modernizes the look while preserving familiar sounds like “DAN-iss,” and the name appears in use for both boys and girls in global contexts.

Usage has been sporadic since the late 20th century, typically chosen for its sleek form and cross‑cultural echoes rather than traditional ties. Close variants and related forms include Danis, Danish/Daanish, Denis, Dennis, Danys, Danesh, and the Turkish Danış; feminine-adjacent forms include Danise and Denise. Common short forms are Dan and Dani. Depending on the lineage claimed, meanings range from “wise, learned; adviser” to “devotee of Dionysus.”
