Origin and meaning of Amedeo

Amedeo comes from the medieval Latin Amadeus, formed from amare and Deus: 'one who loves God.' Its deeply Christian meaning made it a favourite in devout courts and dynasties, especially the House of Savoy, which bore it for generations. Common above all in Italy, it has a Spanish counterpart in Amadeo and a famous one in the Latin form Amadeus. The name keeps a noble, solemn tone rich in history and faith.
