Meaning & origin
Danyla first appeared in U.S. records in 2002, a modern spelling variant of Daniela. It reached its peak popularity in 2021, when it ranked 4,460th and was given to roughly 1 in 51,847 newborns. The name has been on a downward trend since 2020, reflecting the shift away from highly unique spellings. It is most common in the state of Ohio. As a variant of Daniela, Danyla offers a contemporary twist on a classic name while maintaining its traditional meaning.
Danyla is an elaborated spelling of Daniela, itself the feminine form of Daniel, which derives from the Hebrew name Daniyyel meaning 'God is my judge.' The variant emerged in the early 2000s, likely influenced by similar-sounding names like Kayla or Layla, and reflects modern English naming trends that favor unique spellings of established names.
