God is my judge, through the Daniel/Danielle name family.
The exact French entry clips Daniel or Danielle and records both male and female given-name use. Danielle explicitly relates to Daniel, whose etymology supplies the Hebrew God-is-my-judge interpretation. Czech and Lower Sorbian inflected homographs are unrelated.
French short form of Daniel or Danielle, also recorded in English.
The exact French entry documents both diminutives and an English descendant. The parent family has Hebrew history; English-only and feminine-only labels omit the documented French and male uses.
