Danielle's Notebook puts her name front and center, written in flowing script across a soft watercolor apple blossom design.
Danielle is the French feminine form of Daniel, which comes from the Hebrew name Daniyyel, meaning “God is my judge”. Behind the Name lists it among the Daniel family’s girls’ forms, alongside Daniela and Daniella. Wikipedia describes Danielle as a modern French female variant of Daniel, also used in Dutch as Daniëlle.
Dani, Danie and Elle are popular short forms, and Behind the Name also lists Danni, Dannie, Dany, Danette and Danita. Related full forms include Daniela, Daniella and the Dutch Daniëlle, so a Danielle can borrow nicknames from a large family.
Danielle Steel has sold hundreds of millions of novels and holds a Guinness record for the most consecutive weeks on The New York Times best-seller list. Danielle Panabaker starred in The Flash and earlier teen films such as Sky High. And Danielle Brooks earned acclaim as Tasha Jefferson in Orange Is the New Black and on Broadway in The Color Purple.
Danielle is a name of the late 20th century. US Social Security data has it 46th in the 1970s, then 24th in both the 1980s and the 1990s, with more than 134,000 American girls named Danielle in the 1980s alone. It was 95th in the 2000s, so most Danielles today are in their 20s, 30s and 40s.
Because Danielle comes from Daniel, it shares a root with the biblical prophet who survived the lions’ den. The Hebrew meaning “God is my judge” traveled through French into English classrooms and birth certificates centuries later.
Any Danielle, of any age. The 6" x 9" size is roomy enough for proper writing and small enough for a handbag or school bag. With 160 plain lined pages there’s no fixed layout, so it can be a diary, a gratitude journal, a study notebook, a recipe book or a home for to-do lists. Notebooks tend to multiply in drawers, but one with her name on the front is instantly hers.
There’s something about seeing your own name in print. It makes a notebook feel like it belongs to you, which is a good reason to fill it. It also means Danielle can pick hers out of a pile in a second, at school, at work or on the kitchen counter.
How big is Danielle’s Notebook? About the size of a trade paperback book: 6 x 9 inches (15.2 x 22.9 cm), 160 lined pages.
