Re: First name "Duanel"
in reply to a message by Dan
This board is connected to a dictionary of given names, and if you click on the linked name:Duaneyou will find the answer you seek. Duane is definitely NOT a blend of Juan and Daniel! :)

Thank you, but I don't see any reference to "Duanel" under "Duane". I came across "Duanel" (note the "l" at the end) while indexing an article by a Cuban-American named "Duanel Diaz" and am curious as to the origen of this name. Perhaps it is a Spanish version of "Duane", but I've never come across it before and had my doubts. Any more info is appreciated.

Sorry, I did not see the "l" in your first post. I would assume that Duanel is a blend of Duane with Daniel, not Juan with Daniel. Here is a link to the home page of a graduate student in Latin American studies at Princeton named Duanel. Perhaps you could contact him and ask him why his parents chose the name.http://spo.princeton.edu/index.php?app=people&id=117
