Amedeo is Italian in Origin.

Amedeo is the Italian form of the Latin theophoric name Amadeus, built from amare “to love” and Deus “God,” yielding the sense “lover of God” or “love of God.” It emerged in medieval Italy under ecclesiastical Latin influence and has long carried a refined, devotional tone in Romance-speaking regions.

The name gained prominence through the House of Savoy: Blessed Amedeo IX, duke of Savoy in the 15th century, and his descendant Amedeo of Savoy who reigned briefly as Amadeo I of Spain (1870–73). In the arts, it is closely linked to Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani. International variants include Amadeus (Latin/German), Amadeo (Spanish), Amadeu (Portuguese), Amédée (French), and Amadeusz (Polish); feminine forms are Amadea and Amedea. Italian diminutives and nicknames include Deo, Meo, and Medeo. Today Amedeo remains classic in Italy and distinctive elsewhere.
