The name Danit is of Hebrew origin, meaning 'judged' or 'rightly judged'. It is a feminine given name that has gained popularity in recent years, particularly among Jewish communities worldwide. Danit's usage spans across several cultures, including Israeli and Sephardic traditions, with each interpreting its meaning uniquely yet consistently tied to justice and judgment. In some cases, it may also be associated with the biblical story of Ruth, a Moabite woman who married an Israelite man named Mahlon, whose name means 'sick' or 'ill'. Danit is often found among families that place high value on tradition, cultural heritage, and spiritual beliefs.
"Danit saw its peak popularity with five births each in 1986 and 1991, before declining to another peak of five in 2005."
