Daniel 1:7

But the chief of the court officials [Aspenas] gave them new names. [The reason was to connect them to Babylonian gods instead of the God of Israel.]
He called Daniel Belteshazzar.
[Meaning "one who has Bel's favor," Bel was a general name for "lord" and probably referred to the greatest Babylonian god, Marduk, so Daniel was given a flattering name.]
He called Hananiah Shadrach.
[Meaning "illuminated by the sun god," which describes the polytheistic god Aku.]
He called Mishael Meshach.
[He gets a similar name. The last part is changed from "El," which means God, to "Aku," who is the Babylonian moon god. Mishael was literally "Who is like God?" His new name is "Who is like Aku?"]
Azariah he called Aved-Nego.
[Meaning "Servant of the shining Nebo, god of fire," a Babylonian god. In the Chaldean translation of Isa. 14:12, Lucifer is translated as Nebo.]
