The did not have first and last names like we do now. However the "full name" back then would be some like this :
" Daniel, Son of Morg" or "Daniel, from the house of Morg"
Later in history we started to drop the "son of" of "from the house of" and just kept the name as out "last name".
So the prophet Daniel's full name is just Daniel. :-)
Suspiciously, King Nebuchadnezzar's son and successor, Belshazzar, had never heard of Daniel. Because of this, Daniel was given the opportunity to rebuke Belshazzar and describe the greatness of the Jewish God. Even more suspiciously, when the Persian king overthrew Belshazzar and occupied Babylon, he promptly made Daniel chief president over the whole Persian kingdom.
Scholars have long pointed out historical errors in the Book of Daniel, and Leonard J Greenspoon (The Oxford History of the Biblical World, Between Alexandria and Antioch: Jews and Judaism in the Hellenistic Period) describes the book as a Jewish novel. There is no mention in the Babylonian or Persian records of a Jew who rose to high rank, and Daniel is otherwise unknown so must therefore be regarded as simply a character in the Book of Daniel.
