Meaning not yet researched.
We publish a meaning only with a cited source and a confidence label, and never generate one. Meanings are being researched for the most common names first.
Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in Czech, Dutch, English, Italian, Latvian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovene, Spanish and Swedish. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.
Rare spellings summarised here: Danella (870), Danyla (708), Danyella (440), Danila (239), Danyela (223), Danniella (206), Danniela (154), Daniyla (120), Daniylah (95), Danilah (82), Danayla (38), Danela (12), and more.
Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
No nicknames listed for Daniela in the open dataset we use.
