Meaning & Origin
A transliteration of the Russian male given name Дании́л (Daniíl).
Daniil is a boy's baby name of Russian origin, the Russian and Slavic form of Daniel — from the Hebrew Dani'el, meaning 'God is my judge.' In the Book of Daniel, Daniel was the prophet who survived the lion's den through his unwavering faith. Daniil is one of the most enduring names in Russian Orthodox Christianity.
Daniil carries the quiet strength of the Eastern Orthodox tradition, a name that has been central to Russian culture for a thousand years.
