Dancho

Dancho is a Bulgarian masculine given name functioning as a familiar diminutive form of longer names beginning with Dan-, most commonly Daniel, which derives from the Hebrew name Daniyyel, meaning God is my judge. The element dan carries the sense of judge or to judge, while el refers to God. Dancho is used as an independent given name in Bulgaria and neighboring South Slavic communities. Related forms include Dano, Danko, and the full name Daniel.
