Daniel \d(a)-niel\ as a boy’s name is pronounced DAN-yel.

From the Hebrew name דָּנִיֵּאל (Daniyyel) meaning “God is my judge”. Daniel was a Hebrew prophet whose story is told in the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament. He lived during the Jewish captivity in Babylon, where he served in the court of the king, rising to prominence by interpreting the king’s dreams. The book also presents Daniel’s four visions of the end of the world.  He survived two death sentences: (a lions’ den and a fiery furnace.)

In American, Daniel is a masculine name and it is a common given name for males.

In Irish the meaning of the name Daniel is: Attractive.

People with this name have a deep inner desire for a stable, loving family or community, and a need to work with others and to be appreciated.  People with this name tend to be passionate, compassionate, intuitive, romantic, and to have magnetic personalities. They are usually humanitarian, broadminded and generous, and tend to follow professions where they can serve humanity. They are romantic and easily fall in love.

 Because they are so affectionate and giving, they may be imposed on and may be easily hurt or are sometimes quick-tempered.

The name of Daniel has a most expressive nature, idealistic and inspirational, driven with a strong inner urge to be of service in some way that would uplift humanity as a whole.  However, there is a tendency to assume too heavy a burden of responsibility for others, which leads to worry and undue concern.  People with problems are drawn to them as they recognize him as one who has understanding and gives not only sympathy and comfort but provides also some constructive advice or assistance.  They have a generous quality to their nature, but they must guard carefully against giving more than they receive or they will find themselves doing without because they have helped someone else.  They love people, family, home, and friends and try to be a parent to the whole human race.

And while there are generally stable conditions in their personal life, they may experience some problems through a tendency to be scattering and inattentive to details.
