Danna is English, Hebrew, Spanish in Origin.

Danna is a feminine given name with several converging roots. In English and Hebrew contexts it is often treated as a variant of Dana/Danielle, tracing to the Hebrew root dan, “to judge,” hence the sense “God is my judge.” In Italian and Spanish, Danna can also reflect the surname D’Anna (“of Anna”), linking it to Anna/Hannah and the meaning “grace” or “favor.” In Arabic-speaking usage, a close cognate Danah refers to a large, precious pearl, and is sometimes transliterated as Danna. A related biblical place-name appears as Dannah (Joshua 15:49).

The name entered U.S. use in the mid-20th century and has seen sustained popularity in Latin America, notably Mexico, with contemporary visibility from singer-actress Danna Paola.
