If an otherworldly appellation is on your horizon, look no further than Dannika, a feminine name with roots tied to Slavic culture. While this name might softly allude to someone “from Denmark,” it also has celestial connections to the cosmos. Dannika—meaning “morning star”—is an admirable little ode to Danica, the Slavic deity that represents Venus, whose beaming twinkle is best observed just before the break of dawn. Dannika is a dazzling name for any little astronomer and a soft reminder to always look above for a guiding light.
