Dannette is Hebrew in Origin.

Dannette is a modern English feminine given name formed as a double‑n variant of Danette, a French-styled diminutive built on the biblical root Daniel/Danielle. Daniel derives from Hebrew Daniyyel, “God is my judge,” and the -ette ending - borrowed from French - adds a petite, feminine nuance. Thus, Dannette carries the time‑honored meaning while presenting a crisp, contemporary silhouette.

In American records the spelling Dannette surfaces by the mid‑20th century, rising modestly through the 1950s–1970s before settling into rare use; it appears occasionally elsewhere in the English‑speaking world. Common short forms include Dani, Dan, and Netta/Nettie. Close variants and spellings are Danette (more prevalent), Danetta/Dannetta, and Dannet; related names include Danielle, Daniela, Dana, Danna, and Danika. Parents drawn to biblical substance with a chic Francophone twist may find Dannette an accessible alternative to Danielle.
