From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The king answered, and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar -See the notes atDaniel 1:7. The “king” may have addressed him by this name, and probably did during this interview. This was the name, it would seem, by which he was known in Babylon - a name which implied honor and respectability, as being conferred on one whom it was supposed the principal Babylonian divinity favored. Art thou able to make known unto me the dream? -One of the first points in the difficulty was to recal “the dream itself,” and hence, this was the first inquiry which the king presented.
