The name daniels is a proud
symbol of ancient Jewish culture. Before the late Middle Ages, people
were known only by a single name. However, as the population increased
and travelers set out on their journeys, it became necessary for people
to adopt a second name to identify themselves. Jewish hereditary
surnames were adopted from a variety of different sources.Two of the
most common types of Jewish family names are patronymic surnames, which
are derived from the father's given name, and metronymic surnames,
which are derived from the mother's given name. In this case, the
surname daniels is a patronymic name and is derived from the Hebrew
given name Daniel, which means God is my judge.
