AMADEUS

love of God, derived from Latín 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 Latín translation of his Griego middle name. This name was also assumed as a middle name by the Alemán novelist E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822), who took it in honour of Mozart.
