Danny

Casual name, male

Danny is a diminutive of Daniel, used as a given name in its own right.

It suggests youthful informality—a boy named Daniel might be called Danny, though many retain it into adulthood: Danny DeVito, Danny Glover.

The name peaked in mid-20th-century America but remains common.
