Little Horns of Daniel 7 & 8 are one & the same:
1) Both referred to as a "horn"
2) Both are described as "little"
3) Both become great
4) Both are persecuting powers
5) Both cases persecution is against the same target group
6) Both are self exalting blasphemous powers
7) Both are crafty & cunning
8) Both represent final ruling power on earth
9) Both have to do with prophetic time
10) Both extend until time of the end
11) Both are destroyed at Christ's return
* Although Daniel 7 is written in Aramaic & Daniel 9 written in Hebrew, the same word "Qeren" is used in both for "horn" to describe this little horn power. Daniel could have easily used 2 different words in the 2 languages- or 2 different symbols for that matter - but he chose not to for this one particular horn power....

and, behold, there came up among them another little horn,
before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots:
and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man,
and a mouth speaking great things.
Daniel 7:8
{SEE Daniel 7:2-14}
And out of one of them came forth a little horn,
which waxed exceeding great, toward the south,
and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
Daniel 8:9
{SEE Daniel 8:9-14}
