History & Origin
Danilyn fuses Dani, a short form of Danielle (Hebrew for 'God is my judge'), with the -lyn suffix that flourished across American girl naming from the mid twentieth century onward. Blend names of this kind let parents honor a Dani while sounding fresh. Danilyn appears in United States birth records chiefly in recent years.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high in the mid twenty-tens, so a Danilyn from that peak is a young child or teen today. It reads as a warm modern blend rather than a traditional name.
