Translated from Hebrew, the word "daniel" means “God is my judge,” “my judge is God,” “God’s judge,” “God’s court.”
More commonly used in Russian folk form this name is Danila. In the 19th century, this name was considered exclusively peasant.
The patron saint is the Reverend Prince Prince Daniil Moskovsky . The life of the prince was marked with the seal of God's special chosen one. At that time, he received the most insignificant inheritance with a tiny town - Moscow. Having reached a more mature age (Daniil became a prince at the age of two, after the death of his father), he was able to increase the principality without violence. All his life, Prince Daniil was distinguished by moderation and caution; he could settle any quarrel with love. Performing godly deeds on his domains, the holy prince built a monastery across the Moscow River, named Danilovsky in his honor. In it, the prince himself took monastic vows. Having reached the age of 42, the holy noble prince died peacefully on March 4, 1303.
The Bible mentions another patron of this name - the Hebrew prophet Daniel, who is the main soothsayer and seer at the royal court. During the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, he was his right hand.
The prophet Daniel was able to indicate exact time the coming of Christ into the world 600 years before his birth. Being a highly educated man, he wrote a book under his own name (the Book of Daniel), in which he outlined his life at the court of King Nebuchadnezzar, how from captivity, thanks to the art of interpreting dreams, he managed to rise to an influential position.
In the book of the prophet there is a mention of three of his companions who were thrown into a hot oven for refusing to worship a pagan deity. But God did not allow the innocent death of the righteous and cooled the fire, so the three young men got out of the oven unharmed.
In childhood Daniel is a calm, balanced and smiling child, curiously exploring the world around him. He enjoys playing football and tennis, and is interested in gymnastics, but not because of sports results, but to maintain health.
In adulthood, Daniel remains a restrained and calm person who does not like haste and fuss. His emotional experiences are invisible to prying eyes. Outwardly he is always friendly and smiling, does not raise his voice. At times it may seem that Daniel is overly timid, but he has enough male power and pride.

After the death of Alexander Nevsky, each of his four sons inherited one of the Russian principalities. Youngest son Daniel received the Moscow principality with its capital in the city of Moscow - the poorest and smallest at that time. But in the hands of the prince, its area began to increase very quickly, and the welfare of the people increased. Daniil of Moscow tried to avoid wars, and expanded the land by concluding peace agreements. However, the prince knew how to fight, and during the invasion of the Tatar-Mongol Horde he managed to achieve several impressive victories.
Prince of Moscow Daniil did a lot for the city and for Russia as a whole. He built several monasteries and became the founder of the Rurik dynasty. Just before his death, the prince decided to become a monk. In 1303, on March 17 (4 according to the old style), Daniil of Moscow died after a serious illness. He was buried in the Danilovsky Monastery, and in 1791 he was canonized as the Holy Blessed Prince Daniil of Moscow.
Daniel's name day is celebrated twice a year: March 17, the day of the saint's death, and September 12, the day of the discovery of his relics. The Danilovsky Monastery, founded by the prince, still operates today. Its rector is the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus'.

Saint Daniel, the only son of rich and noble parents, was close to the Serbian king Stefan Milutin. However, despite its high position, he renounced all wealth and took monastic vows from the abbot of the monastery of the city of Konchula.
After some time, Daniel was elected abbot of the Hilendar monastery on Holy Mount Athos. Here he had to endure, together with his brothers, an assault, a siege, and famine. When peace came, the saint took off his abbess and took a vow of silence, going to the cell of Saint Sava of Serbia. During the civil war between King Stephen and his brother Daniel was brought back to reconcile them. After this, he was consecrated bishop and appointed abbot of the monastery of St. Stephen. After a while, Daniil of Serbia became an archbishop.

Daniil Nikopolsky - July 23
During the reign of Emperor Licinius, terrible persecution of Christians was carried out in the Armenian city of Nicopolis. The ruler issued a decree in which he ordered everyone who did not want to return to paganism to be subjected to torture and martyrdom. However, 45 Christians, led by the holy confessors Daniel, Leontius, Alexander, Anthony and Mauritius, decided to directly appear to the emperor and talk about the true Christian faith.
Because the confessors did not want to renounce their beliefs, they were martyred by burning, and their bones were thrown into the river. The people who found the remains of the saints founded a monastery in that place in honor of the 45 Nikopol martyrs.
On this day, July 23, Daniel's name day is celebrated. The patron saint of the name will always protect its owner.
