Daniela

Daniela is the feminine form of Daniel, a name of Hebrew origin meaning God is my judge, from the elements din (judge) or dan (to judge) combined with el (God). The name appears in the Hebrew Bible borne by the prophet Daniel, whose story of faith and divine protection made the name widely venerated across Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions. Daniela spread throughout Europe largely through the influence of that biblical figure, taking root especially in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slavic, and Germanic naming traditions. Related forms include Danielle in French, Daniëlle in Dutch, and the masculine Daniel.
