About the name Danae
Danae belongs to the English & American tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Danae first appears in Social Security records in 1947. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #913 in 1991, and in 2024 167 babies received the name — 7,365 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
