What is the meaning of the name Danni ?

The baby name Danni is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdæni/ (DAN-ee).

Danni is English, Hebrew in Origin.

Danni is a modern diminutive used for both Daniel and Danielle, ultimately from the Hebrew name Daniyyel, meaning “God is my judge.” It appears in English as a nickname that migrated to given-name status, and in Danish and other Scandinavian contexts as a familiar masculine short form of Daniel. Through French Danielle and widespread English use of Danny, Danni represents a gender-flexible, approachable form anchored in a biblical tradition long shared by Jewish and Christian communities.

As a standalone, Danni gained traction in the late 20th century, paralleling the surge of feminine Danielle and the fashion for clipped, friendly names. It remains most visible in the UK, Australia, and Scandinavia. Common variants and spellings include Dani, Danny, Dannie, Dany, and Dannii; related formal names are Daniel, Daniela, Danielle, and Daniella. The name’s enduring appeal lies in its concise sound and timeless meaning.
