The name reflects the Babylonian practice of renaming captives to assimilate them into their culture and religion, often invoking the protection of their gods.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, names held significant meaning and were often linked to the gods worshiped by the people. The renaming of Daniel to Belteshazzar was part of the broader strategy of the Babylonian Empire to integrate conquered peoples by immersing them in Babylonian culture and religion. This practice was intended to weaken the captives' ties to their own heritage and gods, thereby ensuring loyalty to Babylon.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1095.htm">Belteshatstsar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Bab. name of Daniel<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Belteshazzar (8).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בֵּלְטְשַׁאצַּר</font><sub>8</sub> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Babylonian name of Daniel</b></font> (Biblical Hebrew <em>id.</em>); — <a href="/interlinear/daniel/2-26.htm">Daniel 2:26</a>; <a href="/interlinear/daniel/4-5.htm">Daniel 4:5</a> 6t.
