Dani

Dani functions as a short form of Daniela or Danielle in feminine use, and of Daniel in masculine use, all ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Daniyyel, meaning God is my judge. The name combines the elements din, meaning judge, and el, meaning God, and was borne in the Hebrew Bible by the prophet Daniel, whose story became widely influential across Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. As an independent given name, Dani is used across English, Spanish, Dutch, and Hungarian-speaking cultures. Related forms include Daniela, Danielle, Daniyar, and the full name Daniel.
