Danney is in Origin.

Danney is a modern English given name, a rare variant spelling of Danny/Dannie, the familiar form of Daniel. Daniel comes from Hebrew Daniyyel, “God is my judge,” widely spread through biblical tradition and medieval Europe via Latin Daniel. While Daniel has been used since the Middle Ages, pet forms like Danny are recorded from at least the 18th century and became popular as stand-alone names in the 19th and especially mid-20th century in the UK, Ireland, and United States. Danney echoes surname-style spellings ending in -ney and, used mostly for boys, appears sporadically since the late 20th century.

Variants and related forms include Danny, Dannie, Danni (often feminine), Danie, and Daney; formal bases are Daniel, Daniela, and Danielle, with short form Dan. Cognates across languages include Spanish/Portuguese Daniel, Italian Daniele, and Polish Daniel. The meaning remains tied to the Hebrew phrase affirming divine judgment.
