Daniel (, ), also spelled Dânêl, is an
angel, the seventh mentioned of the 20
Watcher leaders of the 200 angels in the
Book of Enoch, who taught the "signs of the sun" to humans. The name is translated by
Michael Knibb[''The Ethiopic Book of Enoch''; Knibb, Michael A. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1978, repr. 1982.] as "God has judged".
Conversely, according to
Francis Barrett in ''
The Magus'', Daniel is the name of one of the 72 holy angels bearing the name of God,
Shemhamphorae.
