What Does the Name Amadea Mean?
Amadea is a feminine form of the Latin name Amadeus, usually explained as "lover of God." The Latin elements are amare ("to love") and Deus ("God"), with the feminine ending -a replacing the masculine ending -us. The corresponding masculine forms are Italian Amedeo and Spanish Amadeo. In some contexts Amadeus was used as a Latin equivalent of Greek Theophilus, a name that can mean "lover of God" or "beloved of God"; this helps explain why both senses are sometimes given for Amadea. The literal etymological sense is "lover of God," while "beloved of God" is a customary interpretation rather than a separate derivation.
Amadea Name History & Origins
The masculine Amadeus is a medieval Latin name. It was used in the Savoy region and borne by a series of counts and dukes of Savoy, including Amadeus VIII, who was elected antipope Felix V in 1439. From Latin it passed into several European languages: Italian Amedeo, Spanish Amadeo, French Amédée, and Portuguese Amadeu. The feminine Amadea follows the common Latin pattern of forming a feminine counterpart by adding -a to the masculine stem; the Italian feminine form is often Amedea. In German-speaking Europe the masculine name was also used, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's baptismal name included the Greek Theophilus (German Gottlieb), which was rendered in Latin as Amadeus. That famous association belongs to the masculine form and is not evidence of the origin of Amadea. The feminine form is built from the masculine name, not from a separate root.
