History & Origin

Dannelle rides the strong popularity of Danielle in the nineteen-eighties. This -elle blend appears in United States records and reaches its small high in 1984, within the wider Danielle and Danell family.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, and its records close in the late nineteen-nineties. A girl named Dannelle then would be in her early forties today, and she may have gone by Danni or Nelle.

Did you know? The -elle ending gave many American girls' names a French polish in the nineteen-eighties, and Dannelle applies it to the Daniel family to make a softer, dressier cousin of Danielle.
