Dannel is English in Origin.
Dannel is an English spelling variant of Daniel, from Hebrew Daniyyel meaning God is my judge, built from din or dan meaning judge and El meaning God. Pronounced DAN-əl, it likely arose as a phonetic or stylistic respelling, paralleling alternate forms like Danyel and the nickname Danny.
Usage is rare; the name appears in U.S. records from the mid-20th century, with Dannel P. Malloy, former governor of Connecticut, lending contemporary recognition. While the classic Daniel has enjoyed continuous popularity across Jewish, Christian, and secular cultures since medieval Europe, Dannel remains distinctive. Related forms and cognates include Daniel, Danyel, Danial; Daniël (Dutch), Daniele (Italian), Daniil (Russian), Danyal (Arabic/Persian/Urdu), and Danilo. Feminine counterparts are Danielle, Daniela, and Daniella; common nicknames are Dan and Danny.
