Origin:Greek
Meaning:She who judges
Da’nae is a feminine name deserving of your little one. With Greek origins, this unique name is traditionally given to girls and means “she who judges.” In mythology, Da’nae was the daughter of King Acrisius. It was prophesied that he would be killed by her son, so in an attempt to combat this, he locked her away from the world. These efforts proved futile as Zeus appeared to her in a shower of gold and they had a son, Perseus, who eventually fulfilled the prophecy. This tale of destiny and femininity leaves much to think about and is a gripping name for baby to embody.
