Daneil is a rare variant of Daniel, first recorded in the United States in 1925. Its peak usage came in 1982, though even then the number of infants given the name was minute. The name has maintained a stable trajectory over the decades, never achieving widespread popularity. It remains a distinctive choice for parents seeking a familiar yet uncommon alternative to Daniel.
Daneil is primarily a spelling variant of Daniel, derived from the Hebrew name Daniyyel, meaning 'God is my judge'.
