Meaning & origin
Danniell is a modern respelling of Danielle, which itself is the French feminine form of Daniel. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1973, with that year marking its peak usage. Since then, its trajectory has been stable at a very low frequency, and no recent rank or one-in-N statistic is available because the name has not reached the threshold for inclusion in Social Security Administration data. The spelling with a double 'n' and double 'l' is an example of the creative respellings that became fashionable in the late 20th century, particularly for girls' names. Danniell has not been notably associated with any specific U.S. state in the records, reflecting its extremely rare usage across the country.
Danniell is a modern respelling of Danielle, the French feminine form of Daniel. The name Daniel is of Hebrew origin (Daniyyel, meaning 'God is my judge'). Danniell and similar spellings emerged in the late 20th century as creative variants, often to differentiate the feminine form from the more common Danielle.
