The etymology of the creation of the surname points to the origin of the biblical name Daniel.[9] Danilewich (Danielewicz) is a patronymic.
Adam Boniecki in the Count of families in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries lists people, each of whom could belong to the Danilewicz family or gave rise to a family of this surname. Boniecki mentions, among others: Jesek Danilewicz, boyar (whose father Danił Girdewicz was given by Prince Semen Romanowicz Kobryński to the village of Pryshvosty), Iwaszek and Fedor Danilewicz, sons of Ivan, royal courtiers, Ivan and Semen Danilewicz, sons of boyar Daniil Iwanowicz (to which Fedor Jarosławicz, Prince Piński, was granted in 1507 by the village of Połkotycze).[10] According to Boniecki, the Danilewiczs probably descended from the above-mentioned Iwaszek Iwanowicz Danilewicz, a royal courtier who in 1511 received the villages of Nieżyowy and Teszyłów from King Sigismund the Old. Iwaszko and his brother Fedor (also a royal courtier in 1523) delivered three armed men on horseback from their own goods for war expeditions.[11][10][8]
Dr. Jan Ciechanowicz recalls (in volume II of the work entitled Knight Houses of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania) the document concerning the history of the Danilewicz family. The author, referring to the records in the files of the town of Połock, quotes the complaint of Katarzyna Danilewicz, née Starosielska, from July 1667, in which she wrote as follows:
Having come from the Lithuanian countries, from the Muscovite exile in the voivodeship of Połock, to his estates, in the voivodeship of Polotsk lying Chrołcewich y Połciewa, lying in the Vitebsk voivodeship, this year 1667, to the happy recuperators of the castles of Połock and Vitebsk from the hands of Moscow , that when regretting the time of the Moscow Incursion, being expelled from the Ruthenian lands, he differed in various voivodeships and counties in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, raising his health, living, after a happily concluded peace with the Moscow Tsar, in the Oszmiana district, in Lord Paweł Danilewicz's property, judge of the Vilnius Land, with his spouse, his former Lord Alexander Danilewicz, lived in a manor named Leszney for a considerable time. Where in this year 1667, on March 4th, Lord Danilewicz, having some of his affairs, went to Vilnius, for the March year. There, being haunted by God with a serious bedtime illness, returning from Vilnius, coming to the Murowaney inn, with death from this world, unaware of his wife, he descended. So a journeyman by the name of Stanisław Kopciewich, then traveled to Vilnius with his last Lord Danilewicz, their body, as the dead of Lord Danilewicz on the way to the Murowaney tavern, he brought, and spent the night. Ibid., Through the carelessness of this journeyman, all the things in the sleigh are in the body, stolen [13].
