History & Origin

Danikah is a contemporary spelling of Danica, a name from South Slavic languages meaning 'morning star.' Danica has long been a folk name in Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia, and reached wider English use in recent decades. The -ah ending marks Danikah as a modern American variant.

This spelling was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak around 2012. A girl named Danikah then is a young teenager today, born in the wider Danica revival.
