Dannon is Gaelic in Origin.
Dannon is a modern given name in English that traces to the Hebrew root din via the biblical Dan, meaning “judge” or “he judged.” It most plausibly adapts the Sephardic Jewish surname Danon/Dannon, traditionally indicating descent from, or affiliation with, the tribe of Dan; by extension it connects to Daniel, “God is my judge.” The -on ending and doubled n give it a contemporary, surname-like profile.
As a first name, Dannon has seen rare use in North America since the late 20th century and functions as unisex. Variant spelling Danon appears in Jewish and Mediterranean contexts, while common diminutives include Dan, Danny, and Dani. Related names built on the same root include Daniel, Danielle, Dana, and Danica. Parents drawn to Dannon often cite its brisk sound and the concise virtue-meaning “judge,” tempered by the theophoric resonance of Daniel.
