A given or bestowed gift; specifically, in Christian theology, a gift from God, used as a proper name or title meaning 'given by God.'
From Latin 'adeo' (to the point/so much) + 'datus' (given), or more likely 'deo' (to God) + 'datus' (given), creating a theological name meaning divinely bestowed.
Saint Adeodatus (died 596) was the son of St. Augustine and appears in Augustine's famous philosophical work 'Confessions'—this name embodies early Christian ideas about children as divine gifts, influencing naming practices for centuries.
