Danna

Danna is a name with its foot in two languages. For some American parents it reads as a variant of Dana, from the Old English for "Dane" or the Hebrew for "judgment"; for many Spanish-speaking families it arrives as its own thing, pronounced DAH-nah, a soft and melodic two-syllable choice that has surged in popularity across Mexico and among U.S. Latino families. The Mexican singer and actress Danna Paola has given the name a sizable cultural lift. It has climbed quickly into the American Top 1000 and now sits near 306. Short, warm, and quietly international—Danna travels well across borders.
