History & Origin
Daneille is a variant spelling of Danielle, the French feminine of Daniel, from the Hebrew daniyyel, 'God is my judge'. Danielle was one of the most fashionable girls' names of the 1980s, and Daneille is one of the many respellings parents tried in search of a version all their own.
Daneille stayed a rarity, peaking around 1986 at about thirty girls a year and fading by the mid-2000s. It rode Danielle's enormous popularity without matching it; a Daneille from the peak would be near forty, and the spelling reads as firmly of its decade.
