Daniel

Name Meaning

If fearlessness is a trait you want your bouncing baby boy to have, the name Daniel may be the way to go. The biblical prophet and writer of the Book of Daniel was a teenager when taken to Babylon after the destruction of Jerusalem. He survived two death sentences: a lions den and a fiery furnace. Then there’s intrepid American explorer Daniel Boone who was one of the first people to go west of the Appalachian mountains.
