About Dannie

Dannie is a masculine name that originated as a diminutive form of Daniel, meaning 'God is my judge' in Hebrew.

Dannie has a friendly, approachable quality typical of names ending with the 'ie' sound. The name can also be used for girls, making it one of the truly unisex names. Though not currently ranking high on popularity charts for boys, Dannie offers a slight twist on the familiar Danny while maintaining its casual, amiable character.
