Dajanay
Meaning of Dajanay
Dajanay is a contemporary American feminine name likely formed by combining the prefix Da- with the element Janae, itself derived from the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning “God is gracious.” Pronounced duh-JAH-nay (/dəˈʒɑːneɪ/), it entered U.S. birth records in the early 1990s and has since appeared sporadically, peaking in 2002 with sixteen newborns and a rank of 887. Although Dajanay has never been a runaway bestseller, it has shown quiet persistence, hovering between the 843rd and 979th spots over two decades. Its blend of familiar sounds and subtle novelty gives it an accessible charm that appeals to parents seeking a name with both tradition and a personal twist. Grounded in a classic meaning yet shaped by inventive construction, Dajanay occupies a balanced position—distinctive enough to stand out, yet understated enough to remain versatile. For those favoring names that are neither ubiquitous nor obscure, Dajanay offers a measured alternative in the landscape of modern baby names.
