About Daniela
Used across Europe, South America, and the US, Daniela is a popular feminine form of the Hebrew name Daniel. It has ranked in the US Top 300 since the early 90s and it's currently on trend in Spain, Portugal, Chile, Mexico, and Lativia.
While not as popular as its father name, Daniel which remains in the US Top 20, Daniela and its spelling variations Daniella and Danielle, are familiar throughout the Western world, from Italy to Iceland, Finland to Bulgaria. Well established but not old-fashioned, Daniela retains a hint of flair and offers a range of nicknames, from unisex Dani, to vintage Nella, to sunny Della, or zippy Dana.
In the US, the name may feel a little 2000s, and has since fallen down the charts, however, it is still chosen for more than 1200 babies every year, suggesting it's a name that won't be going anywhere any time soon.
Daniela is also given to boys.
Pronounced dan-ee-EL-uh.
As of October 2026, Daniela ranked #302 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #108 in 2007.
