Danie is of French origin, derived from the ancient Germanic name Daniel, which means 'God is my judge'. It is pronounced 'da-nee', with emphasis on the first syllable.
"Danie appears to have experienced peak popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with a high of 11 births in both 1987 and 1996. However, it has since seen a decline, with only one year (2015) having more than five births since then."
