Origin and meaning of Daniele
Daniele comes from the Hebrew Dāniyyēl, 'God is my judge'. It is the name of the biblical prophet who, cast into the lions' den, emerged unharmed through his unshakeable faith: a symbol of justice and courage. Widespread across the Jewish and Christian world, it is a much-loved boys' classic in Italy; Daniel and Danilo make it common across Europe.
