Daniela, the feminine form of Daniel, comes from the Hebrew name Daniyyel and is derived from the Hebrew elements din, meaning "to judge," and el, meaning "God." Though not as popular as its masculine counterpart, Daniela first appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for girl names in 1973 and was a top-200 girl's name every year between 1998 and 2012 before dropping out of the 250 in 2021. It's the name "Wonder Woman" actress Gal Gadot gave her daughter, though she spelled it Daniella. Other parents prefer Danielle, but they all share the same meaning.
