Dieudonné Origin and Meaning

The name Dieudonné is a boy's name meaning "given by God".

Predominantly used in French-speaking African countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, Cameroon, and Rwanda, Dieudonné combines the French words Dieu ("God") and donné ("given"), making this a spiritual choice. Also given to a handful of babies each year in the US, it is notably borne by Congolese footballer Dieudonné "Dieumerci" Mbokani.

Dieudonnée is a feminine form while Deusdedit is a Latin variation.
