Danel is Hebrew, Semitic in Origin.
Danel is a masculine given name most common in Basque, functioning as the regional form of Daniel. It ultimately traces to Hebrew Daniyyel (Danī-’El), “God is my judge,” from din (“to judge”) and ’El (“God”). The spelling Danel is also known from ancient Northwest Semitic tradition: the Ugaritic Tale of Aqhat features a righteous judge named Danel, and many scholars read the “Daniel” cited in Ezekiel 14 and 28 as this same venerable figure, lending the name an aura of antique wisdom.
As a given name, Danel gained visibility in the Basque Country during the 20th‑century revival of local forms and now appears across Spain and in Basque diaspora communities. It also exists as a French and Belgian surname related to Daniel. Close variants and cognates include Daniel, Daniël (Dutch/Afrikaans), Dániel (Hungarian), Daniele (Italian), Daniil (Russian), Danilo, and Daniyal; feminine/related forms include Daniela, Danielle, and Danelle. Common diminutives are Dan and Dani.
