Croatian nor Serbian names would never have a double N. If it were Croatian or Serbian it would be sp DANIC with a diacritic over the C / giving it the sound of dawn ich. This is a patronymic name based on the male given name Dane, the IC ending means son of. Most DANIC arr at Ellis Island were coming from Croatia.
There are only 2 listings for DANNIC, one Polish from Russia and one French. But then the first Croatian kingdom was located around what is now Krakow Poland!
A bit more info from you may yield some results for you. What is the earliest mention of this name in your family? What was the given name of that person? Where did they live? etc, etc.
