Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Danilo: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 1979.
Danilo is a Slavic diminutive of Daniel, ultimately from the Hebrew *Daniyyel*, meaning 'God is my judge'. A popular given name across many Balkan and Latin American countries, it has been borne by several notable footballers, including the Brazilian right-back Danilo who played for Real Madrid and Juventus, and the Portuguese midfielder Danilo Pereira. In history, Danilo I was a 19th-century Prince of Montenegro, helping to modernise the nation. The name shares its root with the city of Danilovgrad in Montenegro, named after Prince Danilo I. As a variant of Daniel, Danilo offers a distinctive yet familiar choice, particularly resonant in Scottish communities with ties to Eastern European or Portuguese heritage.
