Danielson

US Popularity Rank: 12473

Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: Son of Daniel

Unless your name is Daniel, this meaning should be taken quite figuratively. A masculine name of Hebrew origin, Danielson simply means "the son of Daniel." The name also has a religious aspect, thanks to Daniel's appearance in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. In the famous story, Daniel stays loyal to God, allowing him to escape the lion's den without harm. Religion aside, Danielson is the surname of professional wrestler Bryan Danielson, who made his name in the 2010s wrestling for WWE. Whether baby relates more to choreographed dance, escaping lions, or calling you Daniel is up to them.
