Daune is a unique feminine name of Irish origin. Thanks to its rarity, the meaning and origin might be considered somewhat of a mystery. However, it is thought to be linked to the name Duane, which comes from the Gaelic surname Ó Dubháin, sporting strong Irish roots. It means “little dark one,” “dark,” or “swarthy,” stemming from the Gaelic dubh, meaning black. Daune is a beautiful choice for celebrating baby’s dark features or their Irish heritage.
