Danilowicz is a Polish-language surname of, among others, a noble family of
Rutheninan origin and
Jews with roots in
Danilavičy,
Belarus and other place names which include "Daniłowicz" (including the form "Daniłowicze"
) in their names. Its archaic feminine forms are Daniłowiczówna (unmarried) and Daniłowiczówa (married).

penultimate, while in the patronymic the second syllable is stressed.

Danilowitz,
Danilovitz, and
