Means "love of God", derived from Latin amare "to love" and Deus "God". A famous bearer was the Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), who was actually born Wolfgang Theophilus Mozart but preferred the Latin translation of his Greek middle name. This name was also assumed as a middle name by the German novelist E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822), who took it in honour of Mozart. The name Amadeus was a popular name in the Middle Ages, used in many countries like Spain, Italy and Greece. However, the name has its origins in Latin, with "ama" meaning "love" and "deus" meaning "God".
