Danya

Meaning of Danya

Danya is a sunny name with Hebrew roots meaning “God is my judge.” In Arabic she feels warm, meaning “close” or “near,” and in Russian she’s the affectionate spark of Daniil. She carries a global melody. She dances in monsoon rains like a diyā lamp glowing through stormy skies. She’s curious, caring and brave—a born storyteller. Danya remains rare in the US, just outside the top 900 names, which makes her all the more special. She arrives with a promise of light, culture and joy for every home she blesses, and she might even bring a secret stash of masala chai to share.
