Deodatus Forename Definition:

A male name. Latin ‘given by, or to, God’. These, like Adeodatus and Deusdedit, were fairly common ecclesiastical names from the 7th C onwards, but unlike the similar Greek Theodoros, Theodosios, did not come into general use as christian names, though Deodonatus is found in England in 1205, and Dieudonné was sometimes used in the north of France and Déodat in the south.
