Dannae Origin and Meaning

The name Dannae is a girl's name.

Dannae is a feminine name that appears to be a variation of Dana or a creative spelling of Danae. In Greek mythology, Danae was the mother of Perseus who was visited by Zeus in the form of golden rain. The name is believed to derive from a Persian word meaning 'wise' or possibly from the Danube River. This particular spelling with double 'n' and the added 'e' gives the name a unique appearance while maintaining its classical connections. While relatively uncommon, Dannae offers a fresh alternative to more familiar names like Dana or Danielle. The name carries connotations of wisdom, beauty, and mythological significance. Its flowing sound and feminine ending create a name that feels both substantial and graceful.
