Got distracted from work for awhile so decided to search up the meaning of my name. The results I got were interesting.
"The boy's name Daniel \d(a)-niel\is pronounced DAN-yel. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "God is my judge". Biblical: the prophet and writer of the book Daniel was a teenager when he was taken to Babylon after the destruction of Jerusalem in 607 BC. He survived a politically motivated death sentence in a lions' den." That is an interesting way to think about it.
"Daniel has 19 variant forms: Dan, Danal, Dane, Daneal, Danek, Danell, Dani, Danial, Daniele, Danil, Danilo, Danko, Dannel, Dannie, Danny, Dantrell, Danyal, Danyel and Deiniol." Glad to know that I'm the original.
The surname is less interesting to me.
Noun 1.loon - a worthless lazy fellow2.loon - large somewhat primitive fish-eating diving bird of the northern hemisphere having webbed feet placed far back; related to the grebes
3.loon - a person with confused ideas; incapable of serious thought
It's sad, but I think I'd rather be the primitive bird.
