Meaning & origin
Danh is a Vietnamese given name that first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1980. Although its usage remains extremely rare, it has shown remarkable stability: after 1980, the name's trajectory has been flat, with annual births never exceeding a handful. The name has not cracked the national top 1000 ranks in any year since 1980, and there is no single peak year other than its first recorded year. Danh is overwhelmingly given to boys, consistent with its Vietnamese origins. The name is virtually absent from the top states list, reflecting its niche but persistent presence among Vietnamese-American families.
Danh is a Vietnamese given name, typically masculine. Its etymology is unclear; it may derive from the Sino-Vietnamese element 名 (danh) meaning 'name, fame, reputation'. The name is used among Vietnamese communities both in Vietnam and abroad.
