Medieval Latin name meaning ‘love God’, probably originally a deliberate calque of Greek Theophilos ( see Theophilus ). The name was traditional in the royal house of Savoy; bearers include the Blessed Amadeus IX , Duke of Savoy ( 1435–72 ). In the English-speaking world it is famous chiefly as the second name of the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ( 1756–91 ), for whom it was a Latin version of German Gottlieb . It is occasionally bestowed by music-loving parents in his honour.
