Daneeka is of African origin, derived from the Swahili word 'dane' which means 'to be silent'. This name gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century, likely influenced by the increase in media exposure and pop culture references to Africa and its diverse cultures.
Daneeka experienced a slight increase in popularity between 1994 and 1995, with a total of eleven babies named Daneeka born over those two years.
