Meaning: God is my judge

Kaniel is a masculine name of Hebrew origin and a form of the Biblical name Daniel. Meaning “God is my judge,” baby Kaniel will have the strength not to let others’ opinions dictate their self-worth. Daniel, the author of the Book of Daniel, was taken to Babylon after the destruction of Jerusalem and survived a death sentence in the lion’s den. His writing assures readers that just as the God of Israel protected him, He will also save Israel from strife. Kaniel offers a contemporary take on a millennia-old title and may inspire baby to find security and self-confidence in their faith.
