Danail

Danail is a Bulgarian masculine given name representing the South Slavic form of Daniel, which derives from the Hebrew name Daniyyel, composed of the elements dan, meaning judge, and el, meaning God, yielding the sense God is my judge. The name entered Bulgarian tradition through the biblical prophet Daniel, whose story spread widely across Christian and Jewish communities throughout the medieval period. Danail remains the distinctively Bulgarian rendering of this internationally widespread name, with closely related forms including Daniil in Russian and Ukrainian, Danijel in South Slavic languages, and the widely used Daniel across Western European traditions.
