Donat Family History
Donat Name Meaning
English, French, German, Hungarian (Donát), Polish, and
Czech (Donát): from a medieval personal name (Latin
Donatus, past participle of donare, frequentative of
dare ‘to give’). The name was much favored by early Christians,
either because the birth of a child was seen as a gift from God, or
else because the child was in turn dedicated to God. The name was
borne by various early saints, among them a 6th-century hermit of
Sisteron and a 7th-century bishop of Besançon, all of whom
contributed to the popularity of the baptismal name in the Middle
Ages, which was not checked by the heresy of a 4th-century
Carthaginian bishop who also bore it. Another bearer was a 4th-century
gramMarian and commentator on Virgil, widely respected in the Middle
Ages as a figure of great learning.
