Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary 
This name was given to Azariah, by the Chaldeans. (See Daniel 1:7.) I should not have thought it necessary, in a work of this kind, to have noticed the change of name; neither perhaps the name itself, more than many others, to be met with in Scripture, which I shall pass by; had it not been for the purpose of making an observation upon it; and which I hope will not be found improper or unprofitable. I humbly conceive, that the motive with the Chaldeans, for changing the names of the children of the captivity, was somewhat more than the naturalizing them. The Hebrew, and the Chaldee language were very similar. The Chaldeans perfectly understood the Hebrew names. And they no less knew, how tenacious Hebrew parents were to give names to their children, which bore some relation to the Lord God of their fathers. In changing their names therefore, they not only designed to make them forget their beloved Jerusalem, but the yet more beloved Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And what a change they wrought here, in the instance of this man! Azariah, or more properly speaking, Azar-Jah, meant, as the words themselves indeed express, the Lord is my help; from Azar, assistance; and Jab, Lord. But Abed-nego means the servant of Nego; Abed or Obed being the Chaldee for servant. And Nego most probably was one of the dunghill idols of Babylon. So that from Azariah, to remind him, as often as he heard himself called, he might remember that Jehovah was his help; he is brought into remembrance whenever he now heard his name, that he was the servant of an idol, in whom there is no help. Lord! keep thy people from "mingling with the heathen, and learning their works." ( Psalms 106:35.)
Watson's Biblical & Theological Dictionary 
the Chaldee name given by the king of Babylon's officer to Azariah, one of Daniel's companions, Daniel 1:7 . This name imports the servant of Nago, or Nego, which is supposed to signify the sun, or morning star, so called from its brightness. Abednego was thrown into a fiery furnace, at Babylon, with his two companions Shadrach and Meshach for refusing to adore the statue erected by the command of Nebuchadnezzar. God suffered them not to be injured by the flames; but made the whole to redound to his own glory, and the shame of the idols of Babylon. One like unto the Son of God, or a Divine person, probably the Angel of the Divine presence himself, appeared in the midst of them; and they came out of the furnace, which had been heated seven times hotter than usual, so completely preserved from the power of the flames, that not even "the smell of fire had passed upon them." This was an illustrious instance of the courageous and hallowed spirit of martyrdom; and the interposition was no doubt designed to encourage, the Jews while in captivity, living among idolaters, to hold fast their religion. It is an instance also of those gracious visitations to the old Heathen world, by which it was loudly called from its idolatries, and aroused to the acknowledgment of the true and only Jehovah, who, in various ways, "left not himself without witness" among them. A great temporary effect was produced by this and other miracles related in the book of Daniel; but the people relapsed again into idolatry, and justly brought upon themselves all those wasting judgments which in succession swept over the mightiest and most ancient states.

Abednego ( A-Bĕd'Ne-Gô ), Servant Of Nego or Nebo, a Chaldee name given to Azariah, one of the three captive young princes of Judah, who were Daniel's companions at the court of the king of Babylon. Daniel 1:7. Their virtue, wisdom, and piety secured their promotion at court, Daniel 1:3-19; Daniel 2:17-49; and their firmness in witnessing for God among idolaters, with their deliverance from the fiery furnace by Jehovah, led many to acknowledge the true God, and rendered these pious youths forever illustrious. Daniel 3:1-30; Hebrews 11:34.

See Furnace
Fausset's Bible Dictionary 
The Chaldee name ("servant of Nego." i.e. Nebo or Mercury, the interpreter of the gods) for Azariah, one of Daniel's three companions, miraculously delivered from the furnace into which they were cast for not worshipping Nebuchadnezzar's golden image (Daniel 3). A tyrant may change the name, but he cannot change the nature, of him whose God is Jehovah. "The Son of God" with the three rendered the fire powerless to hurt even a hair of their heads ( Isaiah 43:2; Matthew 10:30). The salvation He worked is herein typified: the Son of God walking in the furnace of God's wrath kindled by our sins; connected with the church, yet bringing us faith without so much as "the smell of fire" passing on us.
Morrish Bible Dictionary

Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary Jina hili lilipewa Azaria, na Wakaldayo. (Tazama Danieli 1:7) Singeona ni lazima, katika kazi ya aina hii, kugundua mabadiliko ya jina; wala labda jina lenyewe, zaidi ya mengine mengi, litakutana katika Maandiko, ambayo nitapitia; ikiwa haikuwa kwa kusudi la kufanya uchunguzi juu yake; na ambayo natumaini haitapatikana kuwa isiyofaa au isiyofaa. "Ninaamini kwa unyenyekevu kwamba nia ya Wakaldayo ya kubadilisha majina ya watoto wa utekwa ilikuwa zaidi ya kuwafanya wawe raia wa nchi yao.""" Kiebrania na lugha ya Wakaldayo zilikuwa sawa sana. Wakaldayo walielewa vizuri majina ya Kiebrania. Na hawakujua hata kidogo jinsi wazazi Waebrania walivyokuwa wakijitahidi sana kuwapa watoto wao majina yaliyohusiana na Bwana, Mungu wa baba zao. Kwa hiyo, kwa kubadilisha majina yao, hawakuwekea tu makusudi ya kuwafanya wasahau Yerusalemu wao mpendwa, bali Bwana Mungu mpendwa zaidi wa Abrahamu, Isaka, na Yakobo. Na ni badiliko gani waliloleta hapa, katika kisa cha mwanamume huyu! "Azariya, au kwa usahihi zaidi, Azari-Yah, maana yake, kama maneno yenyewe yanavyosema, ""Bwana ni msaada wangu,"" kutoka Azari, ""msaidizi,"" na Yabu, ""Bwana.""" "Abed-Nego ni jina la mtumishi wa Neko, yaani, ""mtumishi wa Neko.""" Inawezekana kwamba Nego alikuwa mmoja wa sanamu za Babiloni. "Azaaria, kwa sababu ya kuwakumbusha, mara nyingi aliposikia akifanywa, akumbuke kwamba BWANA alikuwa msaada wake; sasa, mara tu aliposikia jina lake, anakumbukwa kwamba alikuwa mtumishi wa sanamu, ambaye hakuna msaada ndani yake.""" Bwana! "Watu wako wasichanganyike na watu wa mataifa, na kujifunza matendo yao."""

"Jina hilo linatokana na jina la mtumishi wa Nago, au ""Nego,"" linalomaanisha jua, au nyota ya asubuhi, kwa sababu ya mwangaza wake." Abednego na wenzake wawili, Shadrach na Meshach, walitupwa katika tanuru ya moto huko Babeli kwa sababu walikataa kuabudu sanamu iliyowekwa kwa amri ya Nebukadneza. Mungu hakuwaruhusu waumizwe na moto, bali akafanya yote kuwa utukufu wake mwenyewe, na aibu ya sanamu za Babeli. "Mtu kama Mwana wa Mungu, au mtu wa Mungu, labda Malaika wa uwepo wa Mungu mwenyewe, alionekana katikati yao, na walitoka katika tanuru, ambayo ilikuwa imepashwa moto mara saba kuliko kawaida, ili kuhifadhiwa kabisa kutoka kwa nguvu ya moto, kwamba hata ""harufu ya moto haikuwa imepita juu yao.""" Hii ilikuwa mfano mzuri wa roho ya ujasiri na takatifu ya kifo cha shahidi; na bila shaka kuingilia kati kulikuwa na lengo la kuwachochea Wayahudi, wakiwa uhamishoni, wakiishi miongoni mwa waabudu sanamu, kushikilia dini yao. "Hiyo ni mfano pia wa ziara hizo za neema kwa ulimwengu wa kale wa kipagani, kwa njia ambayo uliitwa kwa sauti kubwa kutoka kwa ibada zake za sanamu, na kuamsha kwa utambuzi wa Yehova wa kweli na wa pekee, ambaye, kwa njia mbalimbali, ""hajaweka mwenyewe bila ushuhuda"" miongoni mwao." Matokeo makubwa ya muda yalifanywa na miujiza hii na mingine iliyotajwa katika kitabu cha Danieli; lakini watu walirudia tena ibada ya sanamu, na kwa haki walijiletea hukumu zote za uharibifu ambazo kwa mfululizo zilipiga juu ya majimbo yenye nguvu zaidi na ya kale zaidi. "Abed-Nego (A-B-D-N-G-O), ""Mtumishi wa Negebu"" au ""Nebo,"" jina la Kaldayo lililopewa Azaria, mmoja wa wakuu watatu wa Yuda waliotekwa mateka, ambao walikuwa wenzake wa Danieli katika makao ya mfalme wa Babeli."

Danieli 3:1-30; Waebrania 11:34. "Kama ilivyoelezwa katika kitabu cha Biblia cha American Tract Society, ""Mtumishi wa Nego"" ni jina la Kaldayo kwa Azaria, mmoja wa wakuu watatu wa Yuda waliotekwa mateka, ambao walikuwa wenzake Danieli katika makao ya mfalme wa Babeli (Danieli 1:7)." "Uadilifu wao, hekima yao, na uaminifu wao kwa Mungu, ziliwafanya wawe na cheo cha juu katika makao ya mfalme, Danieli 1: 3; 2 Wakorintho 2: 17; 49; na uthabiti wao katika kutoa ushahidi kwa ajili ya Mungu miongoni mwa waabudu sanamu, pamoja na ukombozi wao kutoka katika tanuru ya moto na Malaika-Yehova, uliongoza wengi kumtambua Mungu wa kweli, na kuwafanya vijana hawa wa Mungu kuwa mashuhuri milele kama vitu vya ukumbusho wa ubora na usalama wa imani katika Yeye.
