Meaning and history
Dania has several possible origins. In Arabic it may represent Dāniya, meaning “near” or “close,” a word appearing in the Quran. In European usage it can be an elaboration of Dana or a feminine form connected with Daniel, meaning “God is my judge.” Dania is also a Latin geographical name for Denmark. These traditions are unrelated. Notable bearers include Dominican-American actor Dania Ramirez and Danish singer Dania O. Tausen.
