      Variation of Daniel

      Variations

      Danyella, Danyelle, Danelle
      The name Danyell is a variant spelling of the name Daniel, which has roots in English and Hebrew. The original name, Daniel, derives from the Hebrew words din, meaning to judge, and el, meaning God. Thus, Danyell can be interpreted to mean God is my judge. This name is commonly associated with strong moral character and a sense of justice, reflecting both cultural and religious significance.

He is noted for his unwavering faith amid adversity, and his story has contributed significantly to the name's enduring popularity throughout various cultures and time periods. Danyell, as an alternative spelling, emerged in the late 20th century, influenced by trends in naming practices that favored unique or phonetically distinct variations.
