Daniah (Arabic دانية, transliterated dāniyah) is a feminine Arabic name derived from the root d‑n‑w, “to be near/low.” It signifies “near, close, approachable,” and by extension “low‑hanging” (as fruit). The word appears in Qur’anic paradise imagery describing clusters that hang within reach, which lends the name connotations of gentleness, abundance, and ease.

As a given name, Daniah is used across the Arab world and among Muslim communities in South Asia and the diaspora, with notable growth in late 20th–21st‑century usage. Spelling variants include Dania, Daniya, Daaniya, and Daniyah; the final -h mirrors the Arabic tāʾ marbūṭa ending. Cross‑culturally, Dania may also develop independently as a short form of Daniela/Danielle or a feminine of Daniel in Hebrew and Slavic traditions, carrying the distinct meaning “God is my judge.” Nicknames and pet forms include Dani and Nia.
