Meaning & origin
Danylle is a modern feminine spelling of Daniel that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1969. It peaked in usage during 1975, yet has never been common enough to rank in the top 1000 names nationally. The name belongs to the 1970s decade and has shown a stable trajectory with no recent revival. As a creative respelling of Danielle, it reflects mid-century American naming trends that favored phonetic and decorative spellings.
Danylle is a modern feminine spelling variant of Daniel, a name of Hebrew origin meaning 'God is my judge'. The name Daniel has been used in English since the Middle Ages, and spelling variants like Danylle emerged in the mid-20th century, particularly in the United States, as parents sought distinctive forms.
