Meaning: God is my judge

A shortened version of Daniël, the Dutch variation of the popular boy’s name Daniel, Daan is a trendy little moniker. Daniel is a Hebrew name meaning “God is my judge.” The prophet Daniel, whose story is told in the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament, was a captive who rose to prominence by interpreting the dreams of King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon. Daan will certainly be a dream come true, and their arrival will bring immense joy.
