Danish

Meaning

As a given name, Danish is generally understood as a national or ethnic name meaning “of Denmark” or “from Denmark.” The excerpted sources point to Danish as a label for things and people connected with Denmark, rather than to a separate older personal-name root.

Origin

Fun fact

In older naming books, forms connected with Denmark are often treated as national names rather than traditional first names, so Danish reads more like a modern identity-style name than a classical saint's name.
