History: Daniel has thrived in Ireland, most famously through Daniel O'Connell, 'The Liberator,' who won Catholic Emancipation in 1829 and held monster meetings at Tara. O'Connell Street, Dublin's main thoroughfare, bears his name. The Irish form Dónall connects it to ancient Gaelic chieftains. Singer Daniel O'Donnell from Donegal became a national treasure, while the name consistently ranks among the top choices in maternity wards from the Rotunda to CUMH in Cork.
