Danyel is a female first name, but it has increasingly been given to boys for a number of years.
Recently, the name Danyel has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Danyel. That means that a girl named Danyel is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Danyel.
Danyel is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents.

Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Danyel really in tune with her generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Danyel was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter D is quite common as an initial letter for girls' names. To be precise, 5.6% of all girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M.
