Daniel ダニエル

意味:これは、ヘブル語の、דָנִיֵּאל (Daniyyel) 「神はわが審判」という意味の名前から来ています。旧約聖書でダニエルの物語は、ダニエル書に語り継がれています。ダニエルはへブル人の預言者で、どのような夢、幻も理解することができました。バビロンに捕囚として捕らえられていきますが、ネブカドネザル王の夢を解き明かしたのちにバビロニア帝国の高官に任ぜられます。けれども、メデア人ダリウス王(ダレイオス)が力を持つと、ダニエルは神への信仰のために迫害され、ライオンの穴の中に投げ入れられます。ところが、彼は神に信頼していたために、全く傷つけられることがありませんでした。
