The story of Daniel

The story of Daniel is much shorter.. In Ireland, Daniel is linked to two other names: Donal and Donald.. All three are said to come from the Gaelic words "Domhan" which means "world" and "all" which means "mighty", the combination of which implies "ruler of the world." If you go back further, Daniel is a prophet in the Old Testament-- the Hebrew translation of the name is "God is my judge." Good sturdy name, right? And everyone knows how to spell it and say it..
