Danilka is a masculine name of Slavic origin, primarily used in Russia, Ukraine, and other Eastern European countries. It serves as an affectionate diminutive form of Daniel, which has Hebrew origins meaning "God is my judge." The suffix "-ka" in Slavic languages adds a sense of endearment and familiarity. Danilka maintains the strong biblical connections of its root name while offering a more distinctive and culturally specific variation.
