Danica

Danica is a feminine name of Slavic origin, meaning “morning star” or “Venus.” In ancient Slavic mythology, Danica was a day star that was often worshipped at daybreak and thought to be the Sun’s younger sister. It was believed that Danica, or the morning star, would open the gates of the Sun’s palace to allow the light to fill the sky and create daylight. Danica is a radiant moniker symbolic of daytime, befitting for baby born at dawn.
