History & Origin

Danyale writes Danielle the way it sounds, with a 'y' and an '-ale' ending. Danielle is the French feminine of Daniel, from Hebrew daniyyel, 'God is my judge' — the name keeps that meaning under its phonetic spelling.

It belongs to the huge Danielle generation of the nineteen-eighties and nineties and its many creative spellings; a Danyale today is likely a daughter of that era, and the form remains a rare variant of the standard Danielle.

Did you know? Danyale rode the enormous late-century Danielle wave in a respelled form; it crested around 1990 at only a few dozen girls a year and stayed a rare variant.
