Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Danuša je doložená slovenská domácka podoba mena Daniela, utvorená príponou -uša od základu Dan-. Daniela je ženským náprotivkom hebrejského mena Daniel, ktorého význam sa vykladá ako „Boh je môj sudca“. Hebrejský pôvod sa vzťahuje na základné meno, kým podoba Danuša vznikla domácim odvodzovaním. Slovník slovenského jazyka ju uvádza aj pri menách Dana a Danica.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Domácka podoba Danuša a jej genitív Danuše sú doložené v Slovníku slovenského jazyka VI, s. 131. Hebrejskú etymológiu Daniela uvádza aj onomastická štúdia s odkazom na Majtána a Považaja, 1985, s. 43. Príslušné heslo monografie Vyberte si meno pre svoje dieťa nebolo priamo overené. Zahraničné podoby okrem českého Danuše označujú základné meno Daniela, nie priame ekvivalenty domáckej podoby Danuša. Poradie domácich tvarov nevyjadruje štatisticky overenú obľúbenosť.
