In Greek culture, people named Δανιήλ often celebrate their 'name day' on the specific calendar date assigned to Saint Daniel, rather than their actual birthday.
While Ντάνιελ is a modern transliteration, the use of the letter Ντ to create the 'd' sound is a relatively recent phonetic adaptation in Greek to accommodate foreign names.
The name Δανιήλ descends from the Hebrew name דָּנִיֵּאל, which translates to 'God is my judge'.
