A Scottish or Irish informal variant of the name Daniel, used affectionately as a nickname.
A diminutive form of the name Daniel (which means 'God is my judge' from Hebrew), using the '-ie' suffix common in Scottish and Irish English for creating nicknames and terms of endearment.
The '-ie' ending in Scottish English makes names extra friendly and personal—so 'Dannie' sounds warmer and more intimate than just 'Daniel,' which is why it's popular in families and among close friends!
