History & Origin

Dannielle is a decorative respelling of Danielle, itself the feminine of Daniel -- Hebrew for 'God is my judge'. The doubled consonant was part of an eighties fashion for making familiar girls' names look longer and more elaborate on the page.

A girl given Dannielle at its 1987 crest is now in her late thirties. It reads as a period spelling of a still-loved classic; parents who like the sound today almost always default to the cleaner Danielle.

Did you know? Danielle and its many respellings surged in the seventies and eighties; Dannielle, one of the fancier variants, reached its own high point in 1987 before the whole family cooled.
