Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Danuška je doložená domácka podoba mien Dana, Danica a Daniela. Bezprostredne ide o slovanské zdrobňovacie tvorenie príponou -uška, nie o pôvodné hebrejské meno. Východiskové meno Daniela sprostredkúva hebrejský pôvod a význam „Boh je môj sudca“; Danica súvisí so slovanským pomenovaním zorničky. Konkrétny etymologický význam preto závisí od východiskového mena. Viacero doložených východísk nepredstavuje spor o etymológiu.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Domácke podoby a väzby na východiskové mená dokladá Slovník slovenského jazyka VI, s. 131. Hebrejský základ mena Daniel uvádza Kultúra slova 2005/5, s. 283. České používanie podoby Danuška dokladá text Orientálneho ústavu AV ČR. Uvedené domácke tvary patria do spoločnej mennej rodiny; ich obľúbenosť nebola štatisticky overená. Hodnota null označuje neoverený priamy cudzojazyčný ekvivalent, nie jeho preukázanú neexistenciu. Konkrétne heslo v publikácii Vyberte si meno pre svoje dieťa nebolo priamo overené.
