Daniel comes from Hebrew and translates plainly to "God is my judge," a name carried by a biblical figure known for integrity maintained under pressure from powerful rulers. The meaning leans toward fairness measured by a standard outside oneself, rather than judgment imposed on others.
Make Saturn and Sun significators of kings and princes, with the planet, and planets of the tenth; but their helpers take from the eleventh, and the assistants of vulgar persons from the second house. - William Lilly (1602.-1681.)
