Dear Jennifer,
I was hoping you could help me with one of my Christmas gifts for my mom, whom I’m very close to. We spend a lot of time discussing the potential names of my potential children, and I thought it would be really awesome to get her own name added to your database. My mom’s name is Danon. From what I understand, her name comes from the surname of a character in the movie “Westward the Women”, and the surname is a Catalan derivative of the name “Daniel”. I could be wrong, but you’re the expert here!
Please and so many thanks!
Cate
Dear Cate,
Danon is indeed a surname variant on the name Daniel, which means “God Is My Judge.” Merry Christmas, we have added it to the BabyNames.com database: http://www.babynames.com/name/DANON
Sincerely,
Jennifer
