The baby name Dannii is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdæni/ — "DAN-ee".
Dannii is Hebrew in Origin.
Pronounced DAN-ee, Dannii is a modern respelling of Danni, a diminutive of Danielle or Daniela - the feminine forms of Daniel. The root is the Hebrew Daniyyel, meaning “God is my judge,” a phrase combining dan (“to judge”) with El (“God”). While Danni/Danny functions as a unisex nickname in English, the double‑i ending in Dannii is most often chosen for girls and gives the name a stylized, contemporary flair.
Public recognition of the spelling rose with Australian singer and television personality Dannii Minogue in the late 1980s and 1990s, which helped anchor the form in UK and Australian usage. Despite that visibility, Dannii remains uncommon compared with Dani, Danni, or Danny, appealing to parents seeking a distinctive twist on a familiar sound. Related variants and forms include Dani, Danni, Dannie, Danny, Dany, Danielle, and Daniela across English, French, Spanish, and other languages.
