John Waterhouse (3 March 1852 – 19 March 1940) was an Australian principal who was headmaster of two of New South Wales first public boys high schools.
John Waterhouse (3 August 1806 – 13 February1879) was a British astronomer and meteorologist who invented Waterhouse stops.
He was born at Well Head House in Halifax, Yorkshire the eldest son of John and Grace Elizabeth (née Rawson) Waterhouse. Well Head had extensive gardens with greenhouses and a staff of 6 gardeners. They cultivated exotic ferns, including a todea superba which Waterhouse had imported from New Zealand in 1860 and which is now at Kew Gardens. At the house, he built an observatory and meteorological station. Louis John Crossley studied at his laboratory.
In 1839 he travelled around the world for health reasons.
Over a period of 8 years (1866–1873), he made detailed observations of the weather and of the night skies from Well Head, which he published in 1874. A keen photographer, he produced several inventions, including Waterhouse stops for cameras and photographic lenses and an alkaline gold toning bath (see page from 1892 book, figure to the right, below).

Feminine versions (Danielle, Daniela, Daniella, Dani, Danitza) are prevalent as well. The Dutch names "Daan" and "Daniël" are also variations of Daniel. A related surname developed as a patronymic, Daniels. Other surnames derived from "Daniel" include McDaniel and Danielson.

The U.S. Census Bureau reported that in the 2000 census, "Daniels" was the 182nd most common surname in the U.S., while "McDaniel" was ranked at 323, and "Daniel" (without a final "s") was ranked at 380.
"Daniel" is a song by English recording artist Bat for Lashes, from her second studio album, Two Suns. It is her best selling single to date, selling over 46,000 copies worldwide. The song was announced as the lead single from Two Suns in January 2009, then released as a digital download single on 1 March 2009, and as a 7" vinyl single on 6 April 2009. The track was written by Natasha Khan and produced by David Kosten, as with all tracks on the album. Ira Wolf Tuton from Yeasayer provided the bass lines for the song and Khan did the rest of the instrumentation herself. Khan said in an interview with The Sun newspaper that "Daniel" is based on a fictional character that she fell in love with as a teenager.
The single's cover features Khan with an image of the character Daniel LaRusso, from the film The Karate Kid, painted on her back. A character much like LaRusso also features at the end of the music video which goes with the song. The B-side of the 7" is a cover version of a 1980 single by The Cure.

John Daniel came to town one summer afternoon Wearing dirty work clothes so everyone presumed He was just another logger from the logging camp nearby And he was but there was somethin' different in John Daniel's eyes John Daniel was a young man not more than twenty-four And there was an air about him that one could not ignore And in spite of calloused hands and dirty clothes his face was kind And I wanted so to know what was in John Daniel's mind John Daniel tell me where did you come from tell me where is it you've been John Daniel tell me why are you different from all of these other men John Daniel there's somethin' about you that I don't quite understand John Daniel do you hold the answer to a higher plan I rented him a room he went upstairs like all the rest It was Saturday and he'd be going in to town I guessed But he left in a robe and sandals with a Bible in his hand And I thought to myself John Daniel I don't understand Now I'd planned to meet some friends of mine when I got off at three In the park we often gather to talk of love and peace When I got there I found that a crowd had gathered round And there I saw John Daniel a sittin' on the ground John Daniel tell me where did you come from... So you want to be free he said well this is how you can As he read from the Bible he held in his hand We were searchin' for the truth not knowing where to look Not knowing that the answers all were in John Daniel's book John Daniel told us all how we could be free John Daniel taught us all a better way for you and me He came to us in our own way so we'd be sure to see He had the light and essence of the man from Galillee John Daniel tell me where did you come from...
