Dann

Dann Origin and Meaning

The name Dann is a boy's name.

Dann is a masculine name that functions as a short form of Daniel or occasionally as an independent given name. The Hebrew name Daniel means "God is my judge" and has biblical roots, appearing in the Old Testament. Dann, with its streamlined spelling featuring the doubled final consonant, emerged as a casual variant primarily in English-speaking countries during the 20th century. While less common than Dan or Danny as a nickname, Dann offers a slightly distinctive variation on the traditional spelling. The name projects a friendly, approachable quality while maintaining a masculine strength. Though never reaching high popularity rankings, Dann appears occasionally as both a given name and surname across Western countries.
