Dannion is English in Origin.
Dannion is a modern English elaboration of Daniel or its diminutive Danny, formed with the productive -ion ending that lends a rhythmic, contemporary feel. Ultimately it traces back to Hebrew Daniyyel ("God is my judge"), combining dan ("judge") and 'el ("God").
As a given name, Dannion is rare and is chiefly attested in late 20th- and early 21st-century usage, with modest visibility from American author Dannion Brinkley. Parents may choose it as a distinctive alternative to Daniel while preserving the biblical meaning. Related forms and variants include Daniel, Dan, Danny, Danielle, Daniela, Daniil, Dániel, Daniele, and Danilo; stylistically adjacent spellings are Danyon and Danion. Short forms such as Dan and Danny remain common nicknames. The name carries the enduring scriptural message "God is my judge" in a sleek, modern package.
Nothing for Dannion shows up in the birth registries or name datasets we track. That's typically a sign of a rare name, a regional or traditional one, or a modern coinage. By any reading, it's an exceptionally uncommon choice.
