What is the meaning of the name Dano ?

The baby name Dano is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdeɪnoʊ/ (DAY-no); sometimes /ˈdɑːnoʊ/ (DAH-no).

Dano is in Origin.

Dano is a masculine given name used chiefly in Slovakia and the Czech Republic as a hypocoristic of Daniel, and more broadly across Slavic languages as an informal short form; it is sometimes adopted as an independent name. Its ultimate root is Hebrew Daniyyel, “God is my judge” (din “to judge” + El “God”). Through the spread of Christianity and veneration of the biblical prophet and later saints, Daniel-based names flourished across Europe; everyday pet forms like Dano entered records in the 19th–20th centuries.

Variants and related forms include Daniel, Danilo, Danylo (Ukrainian), Danek (Polish), Danko (Central/South Slavic), Dan, Dani, Danny, and Dane; feminine counterparts are Daniela and Daniella. In some languages Dano also appears as a surname or common noun (e.g., Esperanto “Danish person”), but as a given name it reads as a friendly, modern-sounding offshoot of Daniel.
