Dani is the short form of Danielle and Daniela, the feminine versions of the Hebrew Daniel, which means "God is my judge". Like Demi and Remi it has stepped out of the nickname role and onto birth certificates, where its two bright syllables feel complete on their own. Dani entered the US top 1000 in 2018, peaked at number 674 in 2022 and ranks number 747 in 2025.
