Dannell is Hebrew in Origin.
Dannell is a modern English given name derived from Daniel via the French-influenced feminine form Danielle, ultimately from Hebrew Daniyyel meaning "God is my judge." The double-n, double-l spelling reflects late-20th-century American taste for tailored, surname-like variants, and the name appears in U.S. records from the 1960s onward. While most common for girls when aligned with Danielle/Danelle, it also surfaces as a rare unisex choice because of its closeness to Daniel and the surname Donnell.
Spelling variants include Danelle, Danell, Dannelle, and Dannel; related forms are Danielle, Daniela, and Daniel. Short forms and nicknames span Dani, Dan, Nell, and Nelle. Usage remains modest and geographically concentrated in North America, giving Dannell a familiar biblical core with a distinctive modern finish. Regardless of spelling, the underlying meaning is unchanged: "God is my judge," a statement of personal integrity and moral accountability.
