Donato is Italian in Origin.
Donato is the Italian and Spanish form of the Latin name Donatus, from donare “to give” and donum “gift,” meaning “given” or “gifted [to God].” In late antiquity it was bestowed for children dedicated to the church, and the name spread through Christian martyrologies. Several early bishops and martyrs bore it, including Saint Donatus of Arezzo and the North African bishop associated with Donatism, cementing its presence in saints’ calendars across Europe.
Usage has been steady in Italy - especially in the south and in Sardinia - and appears in Iberia and Latin America via Spanish influence. Variants and cognates include Donatus (Latin), Donat (Catalan, French, Croatian), Donatien (French), Donát (Hungarian, Czech/Slovak), Donatas (Lithuanian), and Polish Donat; the feminine is Donata, with related Italian Donatella. The Renaissance sculptor Donatello (born Donato) lends the name artistic cachet. Nicknames sometimes include Don.
