Origin of the name Donat

Ancient Rome is considered the birthplace of the name Donatus. The name comes from the word “donatus”, which translated from Latin means “donated”, “gift”, “gift”. From the word “donatus”, in turn, the participle “donatianus” was formed, which had the meaning “belonging to Donatus”. Both of these words were Roman generic names, from which two variants of a separate name were derived – Donatus and Donatos. In the territories of other states, the name spread along with the Christian faith.

The name was popular, and there were many Donatus among the first martyrs. From the parable of Donatus of Euria, you can learn about the miracles that this famous bishop, the dragon slayer, performed. Residents of the city of Evria suffered because the water in a nearby lake became undrinkable. Bishop Donatus, together with the believers, went to the lake, from the waters of which a huge serpent rose to meet them. The bishop whipped the dragon with a whip, making the sign of the cross over him. The dragon died and the waters of the lake were cleared.
