Dania

Dania is a fun, offbeat name with international flair that would be a wonderful choice to honor a Danielle, Daniel, or a Dana. It is both an Italian diminutive of Daniela and a spelling variation of the Arabic Daniya.

While Dania has cracked the US Top 1000 nine times between 1996 and 2024, its presence there is usually only brief. Given to around 220 girls in a recent year, it is a familiar yet rare choice.

Dania is also given to boys.

Pronounced DAN-yuh.

As of October 2026, Dania ranked #1063 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #764 in 1996.
