Dany

Dany is a short form of Daniel, a Hebrew name composed of the elements din, meaning judgment, and el, meaning God, together conveying the sense of God is my judge. The name gained wide recognition through the biblical prophet Daniel, whose story is recorded in the Hebrew scriptures and was adopted across Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions. Dany functions as a familiar or pet form used in French-speaking regions and elsewhere, and it is employed for both males and females. Related forms include Dan, Danny, Danielle, and Daniela.
