In English, the proper name "Dan" is just about always a nickname and
an abbreviation for "Daniel". Is the Israeli name "Dan" the same, or
is it a completely separate name, with nothing to do with "Daniel"?
(Would a native Israeli ever have the name "Daniel"? If so, would he
ever have "Dan" as a nickname?) Thanks!
