覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Daniel は旧約聖書の人物名に由来する英語圏の男性名で、通常は先頭を大文字にして Daniel と書きます。ヘブライ語の「裁く」に関わる要素と El「神」から成り、「神は私の裁き手」という意味を核に覚えます。普通名詞の語義を探さず、文中では人を指す固有名詞として捉え、女性形 Daniela や Danielle と関連付けましょう。
Remember Daniel as a personal name with a biblical origin, not as an ordinary noun. The Hebrew name is traditionally analyzed through an element connected with judging and El, “God,” giving the meaning “God is my judge.” This meaning links the name to the prophet Daniel in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament. In English text, the name is normally capitalized as Daniel and often appears before verbs exactly like any person’s name. Connect it with the feminine forms Daniela and Danielle, while noting that each is a distinct name.

ヘブライ語 Daniyyel（דָּנִיֵּאל）に由来し、Dan（裁く）+ El（神）で「神は我が裁き手」の意味。旧約聖書のダニエル書の預言者の名で、神が正義の審判者であるという信仰を表す。関連語: Daniela（女性形）。
Daniel comes through Greek and Latin forms from Hebrew Dāniyyēl. The name is traditionally analyzed as containing a form related to din or dan, “to judge,” together with El, “God,” and is interpreted as “God is my judge.” Its international spread is largely due to the prophet Daniel and the biblical Book of Daniel. The name later developed numerous language-specific and feminine forms, including Daniela and Danielle.
