Also Danilovich (Cyrillic: Дани́лович, Данілавіч) and Danilovna are Eastern Slavic patronymics.
The surname should not be confused with the patronymics. Both literally mean the same, "son of Daniil (Danila, Danil)", but in the pronunciation of the surname the stress syllable is penultimate, while in the patronymic the second syllable is stressed.
The same surname in Polish is Danilowicz and in Serbian is Danilović.
