Commentary on Daniel 1:6
The naming of the four youths—Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah—preserves their Hebrew identity. Their names incorporate 'El' (God) and 'Yah' (Yahweh), bearing witness to covenant faith: Daniel (God is my judge), Hananiah (Yahweh is gracious), Mishael (Who is what God is?), Azariah (Yahweh has helped). These theophoric names publicly proclaimed faith in Yahweh, setting up the coming conflict when Babylon attempts to erase this identity through renaming.
