The Story of Daniella
Daniella is the Italian and Spanish double-l feminine form of Daniel, from the Hebrew 'Dan-i-El' meaning 'God is my judge.' The prophet Daniel, who survived the lion's den, gave this name biblical gravitas. The feminine form developed through medieval Europe and flourishes in Italian and Iberian cultures.

In Italy and Spain, Daniella is a beloved feminine classic with elegant sound; in Latin America, Daniela (single-l) is even more common.
