Dania is a Latinate feminine name with two distinct origins. It functions as a feminine form of Danio or Daniel, ultimately from the Hebrew name Daniyyel, meaning God is my judge, and it also arose independently as a poetic or archaic Latin word for Denmark, making it a place-derived name given in honor of Danish heritage or identity. The name has been used across Italy, Spain, and Latin America, where it carries a melodic, Romance-language sound. Related forms include Dania's closer variants Daniya, Danya, and Daniela.
